"It's not often when I'm really, really excited about something that I've done. I remember when I was writing 'This Moment,' I thought, 'Oh, I got that magic connection.'

"John Shanks had put together this wonderful bed of music with that 6/8 feel, which I don't write from very often, and it was like, 'Okay, I want to make it about a singular moment...this moment.' There's the universal watching your loved one sleep and being blown away by that, and I just wanted to make that colorful and intense ('I want to swallow the moon, and give a smile back to you'), and I wanted it to be so clear ('Tell the angels they'll just have to wait'). Wanting time to stand perfectly still, right then.

"I love that song, and I totally I had my Barbra Streisand moment in the end. I remember looking at John, going, 'Is that too much?' He's like, 'No. Let's go all the way.'" - Melissa Etheridge

I... I am watching you sleep
It's the promise you've made
What I find I can keep
Oh I...want to swallow the moon
Give a smile back to you
Light your way
Tell the Angels they'll just have to wait
 [bad word] 
'Cause I wanna stay here in this moment
Can I quietly slip into you
You and I can stay here in this moment
Let the world fade away,
I just want to stay with you

I... I am watching you breathe
I am pulled into you
As you smash into me
Oh I want to give you the stars
All that I can hold in my arms
Placing them where you lay
Tell the Angles they'll just have to wait
 [bad word] 

With my hand on your skin we can slowly begin, I am free
Now the heavens have less cause I've found the best and I won't let them take you away
Tell the angels they'll just have to wait...
 [bad word] 

I wanna stay here in this moment
Make the earth stand impossibly still
Disappear in your kiss, we'll never be missed
Let the world fade way, I just want to stay with you

With you
