In a while, in a word
Every moment now returns
For a while, seen or heard
How each memory softly burns
Facing you who brings me new tomorrows
I thank God for yesterdays
How they led me to this very hour
How they led me to this place

Every touch, every smile
You have given me in care
Keep in heart, always I'll
Now be treasuring everywhere

And if life should come to just one question
Do I hold this moment true?
No trace of sadness
Always with gladness
I do

Now a song that speaks of now and ever
Beckons me to someone new
Unexpected, unexplored, unseen
Filled with promise coming through
In a while, in a word
You and I forever change
Love so clear, never blurred
Has me feeling wondrous, strange

And if life should come to just one question
Do I face each moment true?
No trace of sadness, always with gladness
I do

Never with sadness
Always with gladness
I do
