Only a Moment Ago Lyrics

[Intro:]
Why has the music stopped?
Where did all the happy people go?
I know they were there, songs everywhere
Only a moment ago.
I only blinked my eye; and now the world that I used to know
Is changing' on me; why can't it be
Only a moment ago?

[Chorus:]
Only a moment ago (only a moment ago)
It was spring and I was singin'
Only a moment ago
I could see where the road would lead
And what tomorrow was bringin'

Hey, mister dream-come-true, why did you go and walk out the door
It all went so fast; why couldn't it last
Only a moment more?

[Chorus:]

Why has the music stopped? (ahh....)
Where did all the happy people go?
I know they were there (know they were there)
Songs everywhere (songs everywhere)
Only a moment ago
Why has the music stopped?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
