Love Like It’s My Last Day”
(Reflective, uplifting contemporary folk/rock in your voice)
Verse 1
The morning sun slipped through the blinds
Like a whisper saying, "Don't waste time"
So I set my worries by the door
And held the things that matter more
A cup of coffee, a gentle smile
A hand to hold for a little while
The older I get, the more I see
Tomorrow's never guaranteed
Pre-Chorus
So if this moment is all I've got
I don't want to leave a single blessing locked up in my heart
Chorus
I'm learning to love every day like it's my last
To let forgiveness come a little faster than the past
To say the words I mean to say
Before they slip away
To hold you close and make it last
I'm learning to love every day like it's my last
Verse 2
I've spent too many miles chasing dreams
Missing miracles in between
But now I see the treasure lies
In ordinary moments passing by
A porch at sunset, an old friend's call
A helping hand when someone falls
The greatest wealth I've ever known
Is leaving every heart better than my own
Pre-Chorus
And when the final page is turned someday
I pray the story reads that love was what remained
Chorus
I'm learning to love every day like it's my last
To let forgiveness come a little faster than the past
To say the words I mean to say
Before they slip away
To hold you close and make it last
I'm learning to love every day like it's my last
Bridge
If today's the only song I get to sing
I want it filled with grace and generosity
If tonight's the final star I ever see
Let it find me loving recklessly
Not counting what it costs me
Not measuring the return
Just pouring out the kindness
This old heart has learned
Final Chorus
I'm learning to love every day like it's my last
To trade my fear for faith and let the shadows pass
To be a blessing while I can
To lift another hand
To leave behind a brighter path
I'm learning to love every day like it's my last
Outro
And when my final sunset fades beyond the blue
May those I love never doubt they were loved through and through
Until that day, I'll give all that I have
Learning to love every day like it's my last.
