[Intro] [syncopated fiddle melody, strummed acoustic guitar, bass, and drums] [Verse 1] Saw the fold in yer smile By the grocery light Little hands in the cart Holding on so tight Ye said time's been cruel I said, "yeah mate, it just moves" [Pre-Chorus] And the days slip by Like water through our hands We keep saying later Like we’ve got a plan [Chorus] Why must this world keep turnin'? Seems like we're all aging too fast Guess this only means one thing Take it all in while we can (while we can) Take it all in while we can 'Cause life's too short not to have any fun [Verse 2] Grandmum's at the table Counting out the tea Same old chipped blue cup Same old kind eyes on me She laughed at the photo Of us back in the yard Now the air feels thinner And the whole house feels scarred [Pre-Chorus] And the days slip by Like water through our hands We keep saying later Like we’ve got a plan [Chorus] Why must this world keep turnin'? Seems like we're all aging too fast Guess this only means one thing Take it all in while we can (while we can) Take it all in while we can 'Cause life's too short not to have any fun [Instrumental] [Bridge] Hold me face a second Let it stay right here Every little moment Turns into a year If the road keeps calling We can still stand still Love, before it's over Let’s remember this [Final Chorus] Why must this world keep turnin'? Seems like we're all aging too fast Guess this only means one thing Take it all in while we can (while we can) Take it all in while we can [Draw out the lyric 'can'] 'Cause life's too short not to have any fun [Outro] [fiddle melody fades out with acoustic guitar]
