Have You Ever

Have you ever told your mother

That she was more than God?

And for all the life she gave you

You would give her twice as much?

Have you ever told your father

You were angry that he left?

And when both of you got older

Did you tell him you'd forgive?

Yes I have

Have you ever loved your woman

With everything you got?

Have you told her that without her

Life is really not a lot?

Have you ever held your newborn

And looked into his eyes?

When you saw your own reflection

Were you man enough to cry?

Yes I was

Should have done it long ago

Now I know

What I didn't long ago

And I know that life gets shorter

Every day we lose a day

So I want you all to know

That I love you

What do we wait for?

When we keep our feelings

Locked up and to ourselves

We hesitate but soon we all regret

When we find the door has closed

And we're too late

Have you ever held a loaded gun

And pressed it to your head?

Did you think of all the ones you loved

And the life that you have left?

Have you ever told your friends

That they mean everything to you?

Did you tell them that you'd be there

And help their dreams come true?

Yes I have

Should have done it long ago

Now I know

What I didn't long ago

And I know that life gets shorter

Every day we lose a day

So I want you all to know

That I love you

Yeah, I know that life gets shorter

Every day we lose a day

So I want you all to know

That I love you
