Love Em While You Can

Whiskey finally caught up to 'im

Took the life right out of 'im

We were cracking jokes in the hospital room when the

Doctor said there was nothing he can do

And I was mad as hell 'cause he

Did it all to himself, and I

I spent more time judgin' 'stead a lovin'

Now I'm wishin' I could get the time back

But time doesn't work like that

So love 'em while you can

'Cause life's too short not to give a damn

Love 'em while you can

'Cause you might not get a second chance to

Call up your momma

Make sure she's okay

Check on an old friend 'cause life can get crazy

No one knows when the good Lord'll take 'em by the hand

So love 'em while you can

Life had finally caught up to her

Second time around, cancer comin' back to her

She was sixteen, the sweetest thing

Straight A's, just made it on the softball team

Her mama never left her side

But Daddy, he was always workin' overtime

Too busy makin' money, 'stead of making memories

Man, he's wishin' he could get the time back

Ah, but time doesn't work like that

So love 'em while you can

'Cause life's too short not to give a damn

Love 'em while you can

'Cause you might not get a second chance to

Tuck in your babies, make sure they're okay

Hold 'em tight 'cause this life'll get crazy

No one knows when the good Lord'll take 'em by the hand

So love 'em while you can

Never let another day go by thinkin' you ain't got the time to love somebody

Never let another minute go by thinkin' you ain't got the time to love somebody

Never let another second go by

You gotta love 'em, love 'em while you can

'Cause life's too short not to give a damn

Love 'em while you can

Because you might not get a second chance to

Call up your mama, make sure she's okay

Check on your friends 'cause this life'll get crazy

No one knows when the good Lord'll take 'em by the hand

So just take 'em by the hand

And love 'em while you can
