The People You Love Are Not Promised Tomorrow

V6

[Intro — soft violin, gentle female voice] My babies... If I could teach you one thing about time, It would be this... Don't save all your love for someday. [Verse 1 — haunting piano, Celtic violin] I used to think we had forever, That every goodbye meant see you later. Another call, another day, Another chance to find the words to say. I let the little moments pass, Like I could somehow make them last. Until I learned the hardest truth— Time doesn't promise anything to you. [Pre-Chorus — violin rising] And oh, how I wish somebody knew, What I'd give for one more afternoon. [Chorus — soaring electric violin, Norse drums] THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE AREN'T PROMISED TOMORROW! So love them today, don't wait for someday! Say what you mean, let your heart be heard, Don't leave your love in unspoken words! Take all the pictures, sing all the songs, Hold them a little closer, a little longer. Life moves faster than we know— So love them while they're here to hold! [Verse 2 — warm Celtic folk-rock] Dance in the kitchen, laugh till you cry, Watch shooting stars crossing midnight skies. Call your friends just to hear their voice, Make little memories out of ordinary joys. Say you're sorry when you've been wrong, Tell the ones you love where they belong. But don't let fear become your guide, There's so much life waiting outside. And my seven stars, wherever you roam, I hope you make love feel like home. Not every moment has to be grand, Sometimes love is simply holding a hand. [Chorus — full gothic Celtic rock] THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE AREN'T PROMISED TOMORROW! So love them today, don't wait for someday! Say what you mean, let your heart be heard, Don't leave your love in unspoken words! Take all the pictures, sing all the songs, Hold them a little closer, a little longer. Life moves faster than we know— So love them while they're here to hold! [Bridge — stripped piano, trembling violin] One day you'll wish for one more story, One more laugh, one more ordinary morning. And some goodbyes will leave a space, That nothing else can quite replace. [Voice builds with emotion] But grief is love that still remembers, A warmth that lingers after embers. And though we cannot make time stay, We can fill the moments we're given today. Don't carry guilt for what you missed, No one can live each day like this. Just love with courage, love with grace, And treasure the time you get to share. [Short Electric Violin Solo — 10 seconds] [Final Chorus — powerful, emotional female harmonies] THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE AREN'T PROMISED TOMORROW! So fill your days with more than sorrow! Let your laughter shake the skies, Let the people you love know they're alive Inside your heart, inside your dreams, Inside the smallest memories! And when the years begin to fly— Let your love be something you don't hide! [Outro — gentle violin, intimate maternal vocals] Seven stars beneath one sky, Seven beautiful reasons why I learned that love is worth the risk, And every day is worth a wish. [Spoken Outro — soft maternal voice] My babies... Don't spend your lives afraid of goodbye. Spend them making the hellos count. And wherever life takes us... I hope you always know How deeply you've been loved. Love, Mama.
