Lyrics : A Moment Forever Ago

I knew who you were. I wasn't that smart back then, but I got the idea about you from the papers and from hanging around the hotel that day. You were the heiress, but—

I was the runt. 

No, no. I mean, they might've treated you like that…

On a good day. Most of the time back then they just ignored me. 

Well, they might not have been paying attention to you, but I sure was. 
We rode the same elevator once. And you were so—well, I had never seen anyone like you. 

There was a moment forever ago
That keeps me up on quiet nights
And flickers like a pilot light
A moment forever ago
That makes me wade through memories
An old man lost in reveries
Back then I thought I'd all the time
A wishful thinker's paradigm
But when I look back, all that I can find
Is that moment forever ago
Was it over forever ago?
Now that moment forever ago
Is home to more than one regret
A reoccurring sad vignette
And that moment has taught me to know
That I can't let this one slip by me
Or else it's sure to also be
A moment forever ago
