This song still brings me to tears. I'm still deeply saddened by the news of her passing on so suddenly. It wasn't her time to go. Thank you so much Whitney for allowing yourself to shine your inner LIGHT so brightly and sharing the gift God blessed you with for all of us to be INSPIRED by and enjoy immensely.
Unfortunately, many of you youngins only remember her in her later years with the very publicized personal struggles she went through. I grew up watching her rise to stardom like a SUPERNOVA. I choose to share my love of her music and remember her with the respect she deserves for the contributions she made while here with us on earth.

One Moment In Time ~ Whitney Houston
Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown
I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be FREE
I will be
I will be FREE
