about

"A Moment's Time" is a true story from the spring of 2012. Grey made the instrumental “Rose Hill” as a companion to the song because he was there, too.

lyrics

And who would have thought in a moment's time
That I'd be yours and you'd be mine
And when I say this, we’d be knowing of course
That I'm still mine and you're still yours x2

We strolled along one afternoon
In the month of March, a spring too soon
Is there anything you've left to say, unsaid
Here among the living and the dead x2

As a matter of fact, I do declare
That I didn't know when or how or where
So, let's sit down by cedar tree so wide
Will you consent to be my bride x2

Well she didn't say aye and she didn't say nay
She didn't jump up and run away
He was brave and true, a gentle man of mettle
She just needed time for the thought to settle x2

By the end of the month she fairly knew
They might have been April fools, it's true
No rational thought could feel this warm and
this blessed
And where would it lead if she just said yes x2

So they flew to the New Hampshire coast
More tolerant there than states most
If they'd both been women or both been men,
not they
But, they could have been married there anyway x2

With sun to south and fog to north
Two roses, they, with thorns of courth
With cedar sprig and Solomon's Seal wrapped in
Snug in a line with two bowlines x2

And who would have thought in a moment's time
That I'd be yours and you'd be mine . . .
