Jeff Lauber, John Jordan - Present Lyrics

Stay youthful
Say things truthful
'Til your heart is full
Here's what I've found useful
Be open
Say you're hoping
For a long, long time
We'll be enjoying
All the memories
They're just so pleasant
You did your best, now here's your present
Now it's showing
See what's been growing
'Cause if you just strive for more
You can do your own thing
What you saw as failure
It really wasn't
Thought it wasted time
It simply doesn't
Now I see it well
The message that was distant
You did your best, now here's your present
What am I, a peasant
Am I like a feather
Lonely in a desert
Will I find my haven
All the memories
Forever treasured
You did your best, now here's your present

Stay youthful
Say things truthful
'Til your heart is full
Here's what I've found useful
Be open
Say you're hoping
For a long, long time
We'll be enjoying
All the memories
They're just so pleasant
You did your best, now here's your present
Now it's showing
See what's been growing
'Cause if you just strive for more
You can do your own thing
What you saw as failure
It really wasn't
Thought it wasted time
It simply doesn't
Now I see it well
The message that was distant
You did your best, now here's your present
What am I, a peasant
Am I like a feather
Lonely in a desert
Will I find my haven
All the memories
Forever treasured
You did your best, now here's your present
