The Everlasting
It was the autumn of his days
We sat in the twilight
Waiting for the falling night
One by one the stars begin to glow
He said, soon I'll leave this place
And with my view here at the end
I hold a few regrets my friend
I listened as the words of wisdom flowed
I would have lived my life
Like there was no tomorrow
For life is really like a gift we've borrowed
I would have not confused
These things I soon will lose
With the everlasting
Here in the summer of my days
I think of how my hands have labored
Long for moments past unsavored
Lord help me cherish every day
I would have lived my life
Like there was no tomorrow
For life is really like a gift we've borrowed
I would have not confused
These things I soon will lose
With the everlasting
Between the future and the past
Let us live like it's our last chance
To be beacons shining in the night
People living in the light of eternity
Let us live our life
Like there is no tomorrow
I would have lived my life
Like there was no tomorrow
For life is really like a gift we've borrowed
I would have not confused
These things I soon will lose
With the everlasting
