A Life to Savor (VA)

A Life to Savor [Intro: ] [Verse 1] (Piano & Cello) I wake the sun that slumbers deep, I offer my eyes to the light I keep. I steal the petals from the cherry trees, To make a mantle of spring for the breeze… [Chorus] For I have but one life, so I’ll fill it to the brim! Make it overflow, make it tremble on the rim! Not a minute to lose, not a day left to waste, I want every moment alive and in haste! It’s my only chance, so I take it as mine... And I’m chasing after time…. [Verse 2] My laughter is seeds of a wild intoxication, Sown on street corners for every nation. They sprout in the hearts of the people I see, And bloom into bonds of deep complicity… [Chorus] For I have but one life, so I’ll fill it to the brim! Make it overflow, make it tremble on the rim! Not a minute to lose, not a day left to waste, I want every moment alive and in haste! It’s my only chance, so I take it as mine... And I’m chasing after time…. [Verse 3] I gather the shards of the moon in the night, In the silver puddles after the rain's flight. I weave the sunbeams with hands that are bold, To fashion a crown of shimmering gold… [Chorus] For I have but one life, so I’ll fill it to the brim! Make it overflow, make it tremble on the rim! Not a minute to lose, not a day left to waste, I want every moment alive and in haste! It’s my only chance, so I take it as mine... And I’m chasing after time…. [Verse 4] My fingers draw promises on the skin of time, As it passes us by in a rhythm sublime. I write my name in the morning dew’s glow, Before it evaporates and starts to go…. [Verse 5] I am the architect of the storms I create, And the gardener of calms when the winds abate. I dance with my shadows, my secrets within, Until they turn into light on my skin… [Chorus] For I have but one life, so I’ll fill it to the brim! Make it overflow, make it tremble on the rim! Not a minute to lose, not a day left to waste, I want every moment alive and in haste! It’s my only chance, so I take it as mine... And I’m chasing after time…. [Verse 6] When the night casts its nets of stars in the sky, A fisherman of infinity, that is I. I bring back in the nets of my soul, for a while, The whole universe that gave me a smile… [Chorus] For I have but one life, so I’ll fill it to the brim! Make it overflow, make it tremble on the rim! Not a minute to lose, not a day left to waste, I want every moment alive and in haste! It’s my only chance, so I take it as mine... And I’m chasing after time…. [Final] (Slower, Majestic) A life to savor, no moderation. An endless feast, a pure vibration. From the first breath to the last dream I see, I want my soul drunk on this destiny. And when the twilight begins to appear, I’ll say "What a banquet!" with nothing to fear, At the feast of existence….. [Chorus - Grand Finale with powerful choir] For I have but one life, so I’ll fill it to the brim! Make it overflow, make it tremble on the rim! Not a minute to lose, not a day left to waste, I want every moment alive and in haste! It’s my only chance, so I take it as mine... And I’m chasing after time…. [Outro] [Grand Orchestral Crash] For I have but one life, so I’ll fill it to the brim! Make it overflow, make it tremble on the rim! Not a minute to lose, not a day left to waste, I want every moment alive and in haste! It’s my only chance, so I take it as mine... And I’m chasing after time…. [Grand Orchestral ] [End]
