MATT THIEN: music

I saw you twice a day
didn't quite have words to say
but a voice told me to pray

Continued on for months
it could have happened only once
once in a lifetime but it did not

Just a number on my watch
just a minute on the clock
I can't escape

8:38 I heard you say
a time to love
a time to pray
a time to give
a time for change
8:38 twice a day
a time to love
a time to pray
the perfect time to give yourself away

I felt the warm embrace
of a strangers love
in just one moment a feeling you can't erase

I saw you for the first time
when I woke in late december
after spring came around
I started to remember
can you remember
