The Moody Blues
Justin Hayward and John Lodge
Jeff Wayne (Justin Hayward)

Universal / A&M joint, 1996
CD: Universal / A&M duplicate numbers

This page is unusual in this Index because it is not an album I have. It is included because it is widely rumoured to include many new tracks never issued elsewhere. It does indeed have one previously unreleased track on it, Highway, which has since been released on the 2001 double album The Collection. The bonus CD, which not every sold version of this album has, includes This Is The Moment. This is a new piece of music to their published repertoire but is not written by The Moody Blues. I have no plans to acquire this compilation album, on grounds of too litttle new content for too high a price.

Highway

It's a long, long highway.
Will this road of life lead me to someone
Who sees the world in a grain of sand
Who holds the future in the palm of their hand?
Oh, no one else can see things like I do

It's a long, long highway
Looking for a home where the seed was sown
And the harvest was young.
Will this road of life lead me to someone,
Someone?

The rays of sun and the light of dawn,
My inspiration since the day I was born,
Oh, no one else can see things like I do.

It's a long, long highway
But don't make the start on an empty heart.
When you think you've begun
Let the road of life lead you to someone,
Someone

Nothing is serious to me,
I live for what will be (listen to me).
I can always be a dreamer
So trust your heart,
Don't fall apart.
You'll see
At your journey's end,
You will find a friend in me

It's a long, long highway.
Will this road of life lead me to someone?
You touched the dream that was in your eyes
You took so long only to realize,
Oh, no one else can love you like I do

It's a long, long highway.
Looking for a home where the seed was sown
And my harvest was young.
Will this road of life lead me to someone?

It's a long, long highway
But don't make a start
On an empty heart

It's a long, long highway.
Let this road of life lead you to someone,
Someone

This Is The Moment

This is the moment,
This is the day,
This is the moment,
When I know I'm on my way.
Every endeavour
I have made ever
Is coming into play,
Is here and now today.

This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the momentum and
The moment are in rhyme.
Give me this moment,
My precious chance.
I'll gather up my best
And make some sense at last.

This is the moment
When all I've done,
All of the dreaming,
Scheming and screaming,
Becomes one.
This is the day,
Just see it shine,
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine.

This is the moment,
This is the hour
When I can open up
Tomorrow like a flower
And put my hand to
Everything I planned to
Fulfil my grand design,
See all my stars align.

This is the moment,
My final test.
Destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned
Second best.
I won't look down,
I must not fall,
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all.

This is the moment
So damn all the odds,
This day or never
I'll sit forever with the gods.
When I look back
I will recall
Moment for moment,
This was the moment.
The greatest moment of them all.
