JUST FOR A MOMENT (ST. ELMO’S FIRE, 1985)

“Jules, y'know, honey... this isn't real. You know what it is? It's St. Elmo's Fire. Electric flashes of light that appear in dark skies out of nowhere. Sailors would guide entire journeys by it, but the joke was on them... there was no fire. There wasn't even a St. Elmo. They made it up. They made it up because they thought they needed it to keep them going when times got tough, just like you're making up all of this. We're all going through this. It's our time at the edge.” - Billy

It was never heard in the actual film yet it was one of the most recognizable theme from a movie, David Foster composed and sung the theme Just For A Moment from the ‘80’s St. Elmo’s Fire. The opening score in the movie opens the door to the group of friends struggling with adulthood.


JUST FOR A MOMENT
(LOVE THEME FROM ST. ELMO'S FIRE)
sung by: David Foster

We laughed until we had to cry
And we loved right down to our last goodbye
We were the best
I think we’ll ever be
Just you and me
For just a moment.

We chased that dream we never found
And sometimes we let one another down
But the love we make
Make everything alright
We shone bright
For just a moment

Time goes on
People touch and they’re gone
Then you and I will never love again
Like we today

Someday, when we both reminisce
We’ll both say, there wasn’t too much we missed
And through the tears
We smile when we recall
We had it all
For just a moment

Time goes on
People touch and they’re gone
But you and I would never really end
We’ll never love again
Like we today

We laughed until we had to cry
And we loved right down to our last goodbye
