WHITNEY HOUSTON - ONE MOMENT IN TIME
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
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Albert Hammond, John Bettis
Producer(s): Narada Michael Walden
This Inspiring Song Became The Theme Song For Nbc's Coverage Of The 1988 Olympics From Seoul, South Korea. The Lyrics Speak Of Reaching The Pinnacle Of One's Life, And Both The Fear Of Falling Short And The Thrill That Can Only Be Explained By One Who Has Achieved His Or Her Dreams.
Houston Recorded This For The Album One Moment In Time: 1988 Summer Olympics Album. Around This Time, Television Coverage Of The Olympics Was Becoming Less About Competition And More About The Athlete's Stories. The Album Tied In To This Theme, With Songs Like "Reason To Try" By Eric Carmen And "Willpower" By Taylor Dayne. Future Coverage Of The Olympics In America Got Even More Treachly, As Viewers Were Subjected To Endless Features Of Athletes Who Overcame Great Odds, Complete With Lots Of Slow Motion Footage And Lilting Piano Music.
