  • Lying here with you
    Listening to the rain
    Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
    These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
    These are the moments I'll remember all my life
    I found all I've waited for
    And I could not ask for more

    Looking in your eyes
    Seeing all I need
    Everything you are is everything to me
    These are the moments
    I know heaven must exist
    These are the moments I know all I need is this
    I have all I've waited for
    And I could not ask for more

    I could not ask for more than this time together
    I could not ask for more than this time with you
    Every prayer has been answered
    Every dream I have's come true
    And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
    Here with you here with me

    These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
    These are the moments I'll remember all my life
    I've got all I've waited for
    And I could not ask for more

    I could not ask for more than this time together
    I could not ask for more than this time with you
    Every prayer has been answered
    Every dream I have's come true
    And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
    Here with you here with me

    I could not ask for more than the love you give me
    'Cause it's all I've waited for
    And I could not ask for more
    I could not ask for more Writer/s: Diane Eve Warren

  • Megan from Reserve LaI cry to it thinking about my dad.
  • Shandroise De Laeken from Davao City, PhilippinesI really love this song, especially the lines "And right here in this moment, is right where I'm meant to be, here with you, here with me.." and "I couldn't ask for more than the love you give me, 'cause it's all I'm waiting for". Though the entire song rings true to a wedding and the whole married life as a whole, I choose those lines which ring particularly to the couple being in front of the wedding altar, making their vow to God to love each other and be one forever. Exceedingly lovely, or I'm just one hopeless romantic. Totally loving this song + McCain's voice. As a girl, I love his version best although the girl's version did a feat in Country Music Charts.
