If only time would slow, just a little now and then

So I could hear your voice again, the way it used to sound

If only time would slow, and let the moment stay

I’d trade a thousand tomorrows for one more yesterday

You taught me how to bait a hook and how to drive that old Ford

Said the measure of a man is in the ones he loves the most

I still see you on the back porch with that coffee in your hand

Telling stories from a lifetime that made me want to be a man

I wish goodbyes came later, and our seasons stayed the same

I wish the ones we need the most never had to fade away

Life keeps pushing forward, even when I tell it no

I wish the ones we love could stay, if only time would slow

I pass your house on Sundays and the lights are always dark

But I still hear your laughter when the wind cuts through the yard

I keep a few old pictures tucked inside my Bible case

Cause sometimes I forget your voice, but I never lose your face

I wish goodbyes came later, and our seasons stayed the same

I wish the ones we need the most never had to fade away

Life keeps pushing forward, even when I tell it no

I wish the ones we love could stay, if only time would slow

They say heaven heals the hurting and one day we’ll meet again

But nights are long and quiet when you lose your closest friend

So I’ll hold on to the memories, the old songs and your chair

Cause pieces of you linger like the dust in summer air

I wish goodbyes came later, and our seasons stayed the same

I wish the ones we need the most never had to fade away

Life keeps pushing forward, even when I tell it no

I wish the ones we love could stay, if only time would slow

If only time would slow, just a little now and then

So I could hear your voice again, the way it used to sound

If only time would slow, and let the moment stay

I’d trade a thousand tomorrows for one more yesterday
