The Love I Leave Behind

The worth of a man isn't measured in minutes

It's a journey that’s measured in years.

And it doesn't matter where you begin

As long as it brings you here.

You learn more from getting it wrong

Than you ever do getting it right.

And you tell your life story

With the love you leave behind.

Before my time comes

I'm gonna leave some sign that I was here

Won't be what I own a fancy home a car or my career

If I’ve lived and loved too hard

I've made good use of my time.

I'll make the world a better place

With the love I leave behind.

The worth of a man isn’t measured in fame

It’s secret and silent and strong

It’s in the pride you take in your name

And the children who carry it on

You can live on this planet for 80 odd years

But it’s only a moment in time

And you tell your life story

With the love you behind

Before my time comes

I'm gonna leave some sign that I was here

Won’t be what I own a fancy home a car or my career.

If I’ve lived and loved too hard

I've made good use of my time.

I'll make the world a better place with the love I leave behind

Before my time comes

I'm gonna leave some sign that I was here

Won’t be what I own a fancy home a car or my career.

If I’ve lived and loved too hard

I've made good use of my time.

I'll make the world a better place

I'll make this world a better place with the love I leave behind
