therese edell - moonflower lyrics

when the moonflower shines
it’s a moment in time
that will surely take your breath away

emma was a friend of my mama
when i told my age by holding up fingers
years are gone, but the memory lingers
of the night when i learned who she really was
for emma had a nurturing nature
she was aware of, took care of the future
day by day for a family who loved her
emma sustained them
emma maintained a home

some women cry for the times gone by
but somе watch the seasons turn
they know thе secrets a girl must learn
to bloom and grow like the moonflower

i’ve been waiting all spring and all winter
oh, emma
i’ve been waiting since that night last may

when the moonflower shines
it’s a moment in time
that will surely take your breath away
emma knew the knack of believing
she showed me her secret one starry evening
there, she said, is the pay for my patience
come see how fragile, how fragrant
and ain’t it nice that you’re here when they come, dear
these only bloom one night every summer
then she fell silent, held by their wisdom
moonflowers calmed her
moonflowers warmed her soul

in a moment gone too soon
emma outshone the opal moon
in my memory’s eye her beauty glows
and the moonflowers have a light all their own

i’ve been waiting all spring and all winter
oh, emma
i’ve been waiting since that night last may

when the moonflower shines
it’s a moment in time
that will surely take your breath away

when the moonflower shines
it’s a moment in time
that will surely, surely take your breath away
