[Intro] [rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming with percussive mutes] [Verse 1] [male baritone vocals enter] Take each day as it comes Tomorrow isn't promised to us, my love Each day I will sing you a song And be grateful that I'm here under this big bright sun [Verse 2] Sometimes I feel so inspired Other days I feel too tired to keep on Smiling through the tears But every day I wish that you were here I wish that you were here I wish that you were here [Chorus] Time keeps rolling on Sometimes I feel I'm getting old But my heart still young As long as there are songs unsung And I will wait for you Until my days are done And all the while I wait for you, I'll be sure to keep my heart in tune [Verse 3] They say you don't know what you've got till it's gone I guess it's true, I still recall the day you were born And I first held you, Since that time you inspired so many songs... [Verse 4] [vocal restarts] They say you don't know what you've got till it's gone I guess it's true, I still recall the day you were born And I first held you, Since that time you inspired so many songs To keep my heart beating You give me strength to go on, To stay undefeated [Chorus] Time keeps rolling on Sometimes I feel I'm getting old (ooh, ooh) But my heart still young As long as there are songs unsung All the while I wait for you, I'll be sure to keep my heart in tune [Outro] My dear, your life has barely begun There's so much ahead, All I have to give are my songs There's so much unsaid One day when you're old like me Hope you feel loved and free So much that you need to learn I'll be here for you at every turn Here for you at every turn For you at every turn For you at every turn Take each day as it comes... [guitar fades out with final strum]
