"While You Still Can" lyrics

"While You Still Can"

Make amends with that old friend
You swore you'd never talk to again
Because 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
It's 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
