The Time That's Left

Liner Notes

Every FAWM, I write at least a couple of songs bemoaning, or sometimes celebrating my age. (I'm most likely older than your dad.) But, I'm happy just to be upright and take sustenance!

Here's my current take on the subject, please feel free to demo this one if it speaks to you. Also, feel free to wordsmith it as it fits your needs! #needsmusic #older #needscollab #lyricsonly

Lyrics

Every tick, a quiet whisper
Calling out my name
The sands are slipping quickly
No two grains the same
I’ve wasted too much waiting
Dreaming far too small
Now I feel the echo of
The clock against that wall

CH
It’s the time that’s left
Not the time that’s gone
A fleeting fire where we belong
I’ll stand up strong, and give it all I’ve got
Make every heartbeat count
Use everything I’m taught

The past is just a shadow
That fades into the night
The future is a promise
That’s waiting for its light
But today’s a spark of magic
A picture still unframed
A story yet unwritten
A song to be reclaimed

CH
It’s the time that’s left
Not the time that’s gone
A fleeting fire where we belong
I’ll stand up strong, and give it all I’ve got
Make every heartbeat count
Use everything I’m taught

BR
Every moment is golden
Every choice is a key
Unlocking doors of wonder
Setting the spirit free.
So no more hesitation
No fear of what’s unknown,
The time that’s left me
Is all mine to own.

CR
It’s the time that’s left
Not the time that’s gone
A fleeting fire where we belong
I’ll stand up strong, and give it all I’ve got
Make every heartbeat count
Use everything I’m taught

OUTRO
And when my story’s over
And the curtain finally falls
Let them say I lived it
No regrets at all
