(Verse 1) I used to think forever Was somewhere down the road, Past the noise of being young With nowhere else to go. Twenty felt like a lifetime, Sixty couldn’t be real — Now I blink and see the gray That time begins to steal. (Pre-Chorus) We say we’ve got tomorrow Like it’s waiting in our hands — But quiet years slip through us While we’re making other plans. (Chorus) Life is like a vapor, fading in the light, Here for a moment, then out of sight. Years are short, but days are long, We’ve got time... then it’s gone. (Verse 2) My father said, “Be steady, The world won’t slow for you.” My mother whispered softer, “Choose what is good and true.” Am I still willing to learn now, Or too convinced I’m right? Has the world replaced their wisdom With headlines shouting left and right? (Chorus) Life is like a vapor, fading in the light, Here for a moment, then out of sight. Years are short, but days are long, We’ve got time... then it’s gone. (Bridge) Where do we go when the body fades? There's a hand beyond the grave There's a love that outlasts time, A voice that calls this heart of mine. (Final Chorus) (Lift) Life is like a vapor... thin but bright, A fleeting spark that moves in to the light. The years are short, though the days are long, But love outlives this ticking clock. (Outro) Life is a vapor… A whisper in the wind… Life is a vapor… But true love will never give in.
