While You Still Can
Lyrics
Make amends with that old friend
You swore you'd never talk to again
'Cause you miss him
Call up your mom on the telephone
Talk a whole lot of nothing til the cows come home
And listen
Cross every T, dot most the I's
'Cause years grow wings and fly on by
And time slips through your fingers just like sand
'Cause everything you thought would last forever
Never lasts forever, like you plan
Don't let your now become a never
So take life by the hands while you still can
Get your dad to tell that same old joke
And laugh between the jack and Coke
And hope one day you'll be half as funny
Count your blessings, thank the stars
'Cause in the end who you are
Is about the love you give
It sure as hell ain't about the money
'Cause everything you thought would last forever
Never lasts forever like you plan
Don't let your now become a never
So take life by the hands while you still can
You just imagine
Anything can happen if you live every moment like your last
'Cause everything you thought would last forever
Never lasts forever like you plan
Don't let your now become a never
So take life by the hands while you still can
