Lyrics

Re mem ber in’ the days

when our (Dm9)love be gan.

(Em9)Think in’ of a mil lion ways

to es (Dm9)cape and be with you.

But re (Em9)al i ty

was n’t just (Dm9)you and I.

It was (Em9)long drawn out days and lone ly nights.

(Em9)Dream in’ ’bout you, I keep (Dm9)dream in’ ’bout you and I’m (Em9)dream in’ ’bout when you would say, “Let me take you, take you, take you to an (Dm9)oth er place

where (Em9)noth in’ ev er seems to mat ter.

It’s just (Dm9)you and me.

(Em9)We can take flight like a (Dm9)thief in the night, stol en (Em9)mo ments with (Dm9)you, ooh.”

But (Em9)des ti ny

did n’t have such a (Dm9)sim ple plan.

(Em9)I was just a girl

and you a young man.

How could (Em9)age de fine

some thin’ (Dm9)so di vine?

Can this (Em9)e ven be real or just ex ist in my mind?

(Em9)Dream in’ ’bout you, I keep (Dm9)dream in’ ’bout you and I’m (Em9)dream in’ and wait in’ for the day

when no one and noth ing else takes (Bm7)up our time.

(Em9)Fi nal ly you’re on ly (Am9)mine

each and ev ’ry day and I (Bm7)walk with you.

(Em9)right by my (Am9)side.

But in stead we have to hide, sneak a (Bm7)round and lie

just to (Em9)spend time a (Am9)lone.

If (Bm7)lov ing you’s a crime I’d (Cmaj7)rath er do the time and (B7)leave the world be (B)hind.

“Let me take you, take you, take you to an (Dm9)oth er place

where (Em9)noth in’ ev er seems to mat ter.

It’s just (Dm9)you and me.

(Em9)We can take flight like a (Dm9)thief in the night, stol en (Em9)mo ments with (Dm9)you, ooh.”

(Em9)Let’s get a way.

Let’s get a way,

oh.

(Em9)We can get a way.

We can get a way,

oh.

(Em9)Let’s get a way.

Let’s get a way,

oh.

(Em9)We can get a way.

We can get a way,

oh.

About “Stolen Moments”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Stolen Moments"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature E. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Stolen Moments" by Alicia Keys played in?
Stolen Moments is arranged in the key of E on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Stolen Moments" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature E, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 90 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
