WILLIE NELSON: This is a Kris Kristofferson song.
- Was it wonderful for you?
Was it holy as it was for me?
Could you feel the hand of destiny
that was guiding us together?
You were young enough to dream.
I was old enough to learn something new.
I’m so glad I got to dance with you
for a moment of forever.
Sometimes when you’re cryin’, you’re happy.
Sometimes you’re just cryin’,
I know. I know.
Come whatever happens now.
Ain’t it nice to know that dreams still come true?
I’m so glad that I was close to you
for a moment of forever.
Sometimes when you’re cryin’, you’re happy.
Sometimes you’re just cryin’,
I know. I know.
Come whatever happens now.
Ain’t it nice to know that dreams still come true?
I’m so glad that I was close to you
for a moment of forever.
AMY GOODMAN: “Moment of Forever," the title song on your latest album.
WILLIE NELSON: Mm-hmm.
AMY GOODMAN: When did you write it?
WILLIE NELSON: I didn’t write that. Kris Kristofferson wrote that a few years ago and sang it for me, and, you know, I listened to it and I thought, well, that’s really a good song. But I really didn’t get that hung up on it until recently, when I went in the studio and the producer brought me that song again and said, “Here’s a song by Kris.” And I said, “I remember that song.” And I got into singing it, and I said, “Yeah, this is better than I remembered. “
