Lyrics

Not everybody gets a moment like this
Mm, mm, mm
Not everybody gets a moment like this
A chance to slow the world down
And say what really matters
So if you hear my voice one day
Know it was said with love
Before I'm long gone
Life don't tap you on the shoulder
It just keeps movin' on
One day, you're strong as ever
Next day you're watchin' dawn
I said some things I wish I'd shaped better
Held my tongue too late, too long
But when I learned what mattered most
I changed the road I was on
This ain't about fear, this ain't about pain
It's about sayin' it now so it don't stay unsaid
Before I'm long gone, let me say it clear
I loved you deeper than I ever showed my fear
If I missed a moment, if I got it wrong
Know my heart was always home before I'm long gone
Let these words stay
Not as a goodbye, just proof I stayed
If my voice fades, play this song
I was here, before I'm long gone, mm
To my kids, don't rush this life
It ain't measured by speed or noise
Be kind when the world ain't gentle
Protect that inner voice
To my love, you carried more
Than I ever said out loud
If I didn't say, "Thank you," enough
I'm sayin' it right now
I wasn't perfect, I was present
And that means somethin' still
Before I'm long gone, let me leave this truth
I did the best I could with what I knew
If you ever wonder who I was, I was love learnin' how
Before I'm long gone, let the sunrise play
Same warm light on a different day
If my name fades, play this song
I'm still here before I'm long gone
Some people never get to speak
They leave in a hurry, mid-thought
If this is my moment
I won't waste what I was taught
Before I'm long gone, let it stand the test
Not as a memory, but a breath
If tomorrow comes without my voice
Let this be the noise
Before I'm long gone, I leave no regret
Just love unfinished, but honest
If the world forgets my face
Play this song, I'm in that space
I'm not gone
I'm just ahead of you in the light
