Music: John Wetton & Geoff Downes

Lyrics: John Wetton

Lyrics

**"Heat of the Moment" by Asia was written by John Wetton (lyrics and main chorus idea) and Geoff Downes (music/verse collaboration).** John Wetton wrote all the lyrics. I never meant to be so bad to you One thing I said that I would never do A look from you and I would fall from grace And that would wipe the smile right from my face Do you remember when we used to dance And incidents arose from circumstance One thing led to another we were young And we would scream together songs unsung It was the heat of the moment Telling me what my heart meant The heat of the moment showed in your eyes And now you find yourself in '82 The disco hotspots hold no soul for you You've seen it all and all you want to do Is dance the night away It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant The heat of the moment showed in your eyes And now you find yourself in '82 The disco hotspots hold no soul for you You've seen it all and all you want to do Is dance the night away It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant The heat of the moment showed in your eyes It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
