Just for a moment, well just for an hour
Just to be close to you, girl
Oh well ah baby
Ah you know I've been through so many changes in my life girl
Aw I've been up real high where I thought I didn't need anybody
Aw and then again I've been down real low where
There was no one in my life who needed me
Aw and I found that material things I, I thought had so much value
Aw girl didn't really have any value at all
That I was a lonely man
A man with no direction, with no purpose
With no one to love and no one to love me for, for me
Aw girl then you, then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smooth
You made my, you made my direction so clear and you aw woman
You became my purpose my reason for livin' girl
You see you're my heart, you're soul
You're my stone inspiration, baby
Oh that's why I'm standin' here singin'
And opening my arms to you
I want to say child why don't ya

Just for the moment baby, well, just for an hour
Just to be close to you girl, hey, hey ooh, ooh
I've been out there searchin' so very long baby
Searchin' to find somebody just like you
And for some folks it takes a lifetime, sugar
To find in this world a dream come true

To have your warm body close to mine
To whisper words that make you feel like a woman
Girl I know our love will stand the test of time
