Before the Morning’s Gone

(Verse 1) Sun’s goin’ down on a long hard day Clock keeps tickin’ but it don’t wait We all think we got time to spare But life don’t stop, it ain’t that fair There’s a voice inside sayin’ pick up the phone Don’t leave love waitin’, don’t leave it alone (Pre-Chorus) Yeah, tomorrow ain’t a promise you can hold It slips right through your hands like gold (Chorus) Live today like it’s your last Hold on tight, don’t let it pass Tell the ones you love you care While you’ve still got breath to share Call your mama, call your dad Don’t wait ‘til you wish you had ‘Cause the truth hits hard when it’s gone You don’t know ‘til the morning’s gone (Verse 2) Call your brother, call your friends Say those words you might not send Take your kids out, laugh out loud Make ‘em memories they’ll be proud Wrap your arms ‘round the one you love Thank the Lord up above (Pre-Chorus) Yeah, every second’s slippin’ through And one day it won’t wait for you (Chorus) Live today like it’s your last Hold on tight, don’t let it pass Tell the ones you love you care While you’ve still got breath to share Call your mama, call your dad Don’t wait ‘til you wish you had ‘Cause the truth hits hard when it’s gone You don’t know ‘til the morning’s gone (Bridge – emotional, stripped then builds) One call… one hug… one “I love you” said Could be the words that echo when they’re gone instead Don’t let silence be your regret Don’t gamble on a moment you ain’t got yet (Chorus – big, full band, soaring) Live today like it’s your last Make each moment built to last Hold ‘em close, don’t let ‘em go More than you might ever know Call your mama, call your dad Make the best of what you have ‘Cause the truth hits hard when it’s gone You don’t know ‘til the morning’s gone (Outro – soft, reflective) Yeah, love ‘em now while you still can Life don’t always go as planned Don’t wait ‘til it’s too far gone… Before the morning’s gone…
