Story behind the song
Love, past and present; the world, which at times seems unfathomably monumental, and all that goes on in it, which can seem just as important. Making a beat while trying not to wake up my girlfriend (that's why it sounds so relaxed).
Lyrics
(Tone Dogg)
Hey there boo,/ what's up with you/
take a seat, make yourself comfortable/
this real cool/ (true...)let me put on some tunes/
my home boy made this groove/ to set the mood/
for you and I here at this precious moment/
when I stare in your eyes time moves in slow motion/
and for an instant I know this world ain't hopeless/
I forget about my pain, baby, I'm so focused/
on you and you only/ 'cause it's you that showed me/
that you can know me/ if I let you in closely/
it's not Tone Dogg or Tony/ when you reach out to hold me/
everything is everything, girl, I'm so pleased/
It's been a long time since I felt like this/
Nothing else exists/ but our midnight kiss/
I swear to god perfection lives in those lips/
and this is something I don't wanna miss/ so I persist/
Hey, you wanna roll to our secret spot?/
there's this hill by the Temple you should see the top/
either way, every minute with you means a lot/
look me in the eyes this is me you got/
(Chorus)
Now in this time and place/ it feels so right this way/ I hold on tight and pray/
because it's so Momentous/ because it's so Momentous/
But what will fate bring next/ more or less/ life or death/
because it's all Momentous/ because it's all Momentous/
(Cal-S-)
Perfection.../
and each moment is better than the one I was expecting/
though while recollecting/ even if only for a second/
I can't be forgetting.../
(Tone Dogg)
That this is a blessing/ a gift or a present/
a tie or connection/ to my conception/
that this is the essence/ of my exsistence/
and to never neglect it/ it deserves my attention...
(Cal-S-)
Contentment.../
is hard to find when filled with guilt and resentment/
or when tsunamis kill like our president/
It's all to eminent/ and deverts my attention.../
(Tone Dogg)
In every direction/ and under impression/
I make seperate assessments/ to find significance/
in this insecure consistence/ exhale and accept it/
as a satisfactory lesson/ now back to this instance/
(Chorus)
(Cal-S-)
It's been a moment since I wrote you last/
a moment, since I first saw you laugh/
since the day we talked in front of english class/
I smile thinking of all the time that's pasted/
those summer days sitting at the park/
the bench by the lake after dark/
phone conversations until the break of day/
all still fresh on my mind like yesterday/
remember that time I picked you up from work?/
first time I saw you in a skirt?/ the memory is what a picture's worth/
how 'bout my comeback from vacation?/
Tired, but your joy was invigorating/
at times I just gaze at you while you sleep/
or when you're in the kitchen cooking something to eat/
and I'm content because I can't help but think/
that may be our destinys are ensync/
And that's all I need to keep going/
Especially, when there's no way of knowing/
What the next moment is withholding/
So *shhh...* for now because the silence is golden/
(Chorus) x2
