Lyrics:

I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing led to another, we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing led to another, we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

‘Cause it was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in ’82
The disco hot-spots hold no charm for you
You can’t concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon’s wings

And when your looks are gone and you’re alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone?
What were the things you wanted for yourself?
Teenage ambitions you remember well

Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes

Get It:

Asia’s classic debut album is available on Amazon:

All I can say is that if this song doesn’t make you happy, then I don’t really want to know you. Really. Go away. 🙂

And no matter how much fun the 40-Year-Old-Virgin’s friends made fun of him for having a framed poster of this album art, I’d gladly hang a framed version of this in my home, right in the living room.

In 2013, Asia performed Heat of the Moment live in Bulgaria:
