Missing Persons - If Only For The Moment Lyrics
You try to live up to what others believe
Till you conquer all your fears and just find what you need
In the time that it takes to settle for less
You could have done with what you thought would be best
You set your ideals with the truth that you see
Counting the times that you've said what you mean
All the reasons to forget what you want to believe
And you know what I'm thinking now
If only for the moment
All that you think has meaning for you
Excuses are many when you seek what is true
You live in your thoughts and believe you are right
Till what you foresee is brought into sight
Nothing turns out quite the same as you thought it would be
Counting the times that you've said what you mean
All the reasons to forget what you want to believe
All the reasons to forget what you want to believe...

A prophet told me that I would have healing power in my hands. Perhaps healing, youth and immortality do not always come by me praying at a distance. Sometimes I need to lay hands on people. Nobody wants me to lay hands on them so how would I know?
A Timeless Masterpiece!
No one sings like dale! I love you missing persons!!!
fantastic
God this song has so many good memories of my girlfriend and I at 19 yrs old. What a time that was.
This song should be released today as a single to good to just lay there and die most people never heard it
Berlin and missing persons the best.
excellent song.
Their finest creation I think. I walked thru the rain on a warm May day uptown to buy this LP.
There was Words, Right Now, Destination Unknown then this. I agree - their finest "moment."
stunning
this is such an awesome song!
this is a masterpiece
I have loved Missing Persons from the beginning, sad they didn't stay around longer
Pure gold
Of the very best ever!!!
This band was so far ahead of their time, it's unbelievable. Amazing talent. Fuck Gaga and all the wannabes.
Gwen Stephani and horse shit no doubt rip off this great band every day! In their wildest dreams could never touch the talent of Dale and Missing Persons !
NIce ! 30 years ago . And still nice today : )
A great album and a fantastic song. Missing Persons made some of the best music during their time. Love Dale's vocals.
Gwen Stephani before there was such a thing.
One of the most brilliant bridges in pop lyrics!!!
this should have been a big hit
@housetyme Patrick was the bassist (and also played keyboards) of Missing Persons. His first solo album, a huge hit of the beginning 'new age' vibe, 'Ancient Dreams,' was released in '85. Missing Persons disbanded in '86.
Dale Bozzio and the brilliant Patrick O'Hearn. Love.
My friends thought I was a weirdo for loving this band, then we went to a show and they were immediately converts. Dale was the best and I have everything I could find from Patrick.
@RangerGordon That's wonderful. Music can do that :>)
I agree with you all! This is a GREAT album! A true gem,.....To Life!
A real pearl! Power, brilliant Lyrics and a high Level of musical Quality.
Hard to find today... I really miss such great bands these days...
one of their best.
This entire album is incredibly insightful and positive -- I was a freaky outcast in a small Utah town in the mid '80s, and this was one of the things that helped me hold onto my sanity. I'll always be grateful to Missing Persons!
What small town ? Would it be Helper or Price, Spring Glen ???
whoever labeled this as "Disco" needs their head examined. This is the pinnacle of NEW WAVE.
This is simply one of the best songs EVER written or performed. Maximum Strength HOPE.
