[Verse 1] I leave the porch light on Though morning’s coming fast The coffee warms my hands I wish this hour could last Your jacket on the chair The blue cup by the sink I used to rush right past Now I stop and look and think [Pre-Chorus] Every little ordinary thing Is wearing borrowed time So let me hold it while it’s here Before it slips behind [Chorus] I’m learning how to love this life The way it is tonight The cracked-up steps, the crowded room The way your hand fits mine I’m learning how to love this life Before it says goodbye If it is leaving, let it leave With me still by its side [Verse 2] The season turns the leaves The hallway loses gold The picture on the wall Will fade before we know You laugh with your head back I count the little sounds The world keeps moving on But I don’t want to miss it now [Pre-Chorus] Every little ordinary thing Can vanish in a breath So let me meet it wide awake And thank it while it’s left [Chorus] I’m learning how to love this life The way it is tonight The cracked-up steps, the crowded room The way your hand fits mine I’m learning how to love this life Before it says goodbye If it is leaving, let it leave With me still by its side [Bridge] Not every ending needs a fight Not every change is wrong I can be grateful for the room And grateful it was home [Final Chorus] I’m learning how to love this life The way it is tonight The worn-out days, the open door The last turn of the light I’m learning how to love this life Before it says goodbye If it is leaving, let it leave With me still by its side [Outro] I’ll hold the hour gently I’ll hold the hour gently While it’s mine
