Rod Stewart - Moment Of Glory Lyrics
(r. stewart, c. kentis, j. golub, c. rojas)Here is a story that is bound to amuse ya(about a fine young couple startin out in life)A dedicated husband and a real fine worker(who lived for his children and his beautiful wife)But one night in dallas at a computer convention(he got so loaded he could hardly stand)Woke up with a heavy head and a strange girl beside him(returned home a worried guilty man)But inside his coat his wife found a noteIt said thanks for the good time can I see you againShe asked him why oh why tears rollin down her eyeswould you give it all up for a moment of glory gloryPacked up all her bags and returned to her mother(two small children clinging to her dress)Hurt and disillusioned but never down hearted(she picked up the pieces of her broken life)And meanwhile back in boston the culprit lie thinkin(trying to find the answer in a bottle of wine)Fired from his job and missing his children(he didnt care one way if he lived or died)Oh what a crying shame nobody else to blameFor one night of pleasure he had given her painOh how it was so hard to climb so far to give it all upFor a moment of glory, gloryAs the months rolled by and accusations flyThe bloodsuckin lawyers know theyre in for a killThe gold war begins shes takin off her ringsClose friends take sides while the waters are stillPhone rang twice in his stone cold appartment(it was his little boy johnny and his sister beth)They said daddy we miss you would you talk to mommy(a line of communication he had sadly missed)She said now dont get me wrong this is where you belongI said good-bye children we can work it all outbut dont you ever forget how this family has bledcause you give it all up for a moment of glory gloryWont you give it all upYou give it all upWont you give it all upYou give it all up
