I saw you smiling

From the corner of your mouth

In the corner of my eye

(You didn't know that it was there)

But I hope that you appreciate

The fact you were appreciating

One who "did not see"

And so you did not care

But you were



Caught in an unguarded moment

You didn't know it would show

But you were

Caught in an unguarded moment

Your incognito went right

Out of the window



I saw a young man standing

On a crowded bar room floor

He was getting less and less

Thinking he was getting more

And when all at once

He heard a sound

Exploding from the stage

He was taken unaware

And with no time to prepare

For he was



Caught in an unguarded moment

He wasn't ready to go

But he was

Caught in an unguarded moment

He had no time to say "No"



I saw a young girl fly

Over a rocky mountain brink

She had had too much to drink

She did not have time to think

But it was far more than just her car

That flew out of control

She had gone over the edge

Long before she'd lost her soul

And she was



Caught in an unguarded moment

Her fate was inappropos

But she was

Caught in an unguarded moment

She's been a pleasure to know

But she was

Caught in an unguarded moment

She made a brief cameo

But she was

Caught in an unguarded moment

Something she could not foreknow

And she was

Caught in an unguarded moment

All fall down like dominoes

And now she's

Caught in an unguarded moment

Eternal sorrow and woe
