" If We Only Knew "
( Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
( Verse 1 )
If we only knew when we would die
The things we would do or things we would’ve tried
We’d hold our children a little more tight
Kiss our lovers longer every night
( Chorus )
We’d chase the dreams we let slip away
Say the words we always meant to say
We’d stop the fighting, forgive the pain
Live like tomorrow won’t come again
If we only knew when our time was through
We’d spend each moment in the light of truth
( Verse 2 )
We’d call old friends we left behind
Say “I’m sorry” and ease our minds
We’d walk in the rain, dance in the street
Taste every joy, every loss, every beat
( Chorus )
We’d chase the dreams we let slip away
Say the words we always meant to say
We’d stop the fighting, forgive the pain
Live like tomorrow won’t come again
If we only knew when our time was through
We’d spend each moment in the light of truth
( Bridge )
Time is a thief that we can’t outrun
But love is the gift that outshines the sun
Don’t wait ‘til the end to start living right
Tomorrow’s not promised, we just have tonight
( Final Chorus / Outro )
So chase the dreams you’ve left behind
Speak the truth and free your mind
Hold on tighter, let grace begin
Live like tomorrow won’t come again
If we only knew… oh if we only knew
We’d spend each heartbeat loving true
