I have been given One moment from heaven As I am walking Surrounded by night, Stars high above me Make a wish under moonlight. On my way home I remember Only good days. On my way home I remember all the best days. I'm on my way home I can remember Every new day. I move in silence With each step taken, Snow falling round me Like angels in flight, Far in the distance Is my wish under moonlight On my way home I remember Only good days. On my way home I remember all the best days. I'm on my way home I can remember Every new day.
