Lyrics
Lime coloured leaves are bending and blowing
In the springtime of life
Lime coloured leaves are blending and knowing
And I bet I’ll survive
Survival is hardly the point
Oh, you’re my kind of daydream
I’ll foster ambitions
Break down inhibitions till realisations take over
And wishes convert into kisses galore
And I’ll dream no more
I’ll be so in the moment
<span begin="50.300" end="53.207">Putting your hand in mine</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="51.499" end="53.716">(So in the moment)</span></span>
<span begin="53.330" end="56.324">Finding gold in the silver mine</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="54.758" end="56.951">(So in the moment)</span></span>
<span begin="56.631" end="59.558">Not a thorn on the vine</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="58.067" end="1:00.319">(So in the moment)</span></span>
Of roses in the summertime
When the old times are fading fast
The pleasures will come at last
I’ll take you for my own
And I won’t let go
Lime coloured leaves still bending and blowing
With a walk in the park
Arm and arm with my true love
The roses have faded
Bad choice of remark
Complacency strikes at the heart
Now we’re balancing upon the kerb
Please don’t say another word
I want to jump in like Paul McCartney and Wings
'I feel like letting go'
I’ll be so in the moment
<span begin="1:49.572" end="1:52.255">Begging your forgiveness</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:50.777" end="1:52.977">(So in the moment)</span></span>
<span begin="1:52.582" end="1:55.501">Then saying I couldn’t care less</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:54.021" end="1:56.264">(So in the moment)</span></span>
<span begin="1:55.849" end="1:58.768">My darling, don’t get upset</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:57.281" end="1:59.664">(So in the moment)</span></span>
You know I’m only joking
It’s a long way to yesterday
No matter what I do or say
It keeps getting further away
Well now, all the things I meant to say
I think I’ll say them anyway
The seasons, the fallen leaves
The curve of time and all it weaves
Now flood through my mind
I want to make you my wife
For the rest of my life
I am so in the moment
So in the moment
So in the moment
So in the moment
So in the moment
<span begin="2:53.558" end="2:56.509">Wrestling with our love's demise, we’re out of the mire</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:56.617" end="2:59.083">(So in the moment)</span></span>
<span begin="2:56.717" end="2:59.667">Making up for lost time, floating dreams of desire</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:59.935" end="3:02.902">(So in the moment)</span></span>
<span begin="3:00.022" end="3:02.938">Got our medications and the bus is for hire</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="3:03.115" end="3:05.581">(So in the moment)</span></span>
Say 'I do' and say 'I will', jump into the fire
Don’t you let me down again
