Lyrics

One day you look around…
And everybody you love got older somehow
And you start wondering where the time went
We spend our lives saying "someday soon"
While time slips out the living room
Mama's getting older by the week
And Daddy don't walk like he used to speak
We chase our dreams till the years run dry
Trying so hard just to survive
Then one quiet night it hits your chest
None of this was meant to last
And all these little things we miss
Turn into the things we wish we kissed
Life goes fast, faster than your plans
One blink and it's slipping through your hands
All the love we thought we had time to give
All the hearts we thought would always live
Now I hear God in the silence saying
"Child, don't wait till the light starts fading"
'Cause the days run out, and the years move on
And one day you wake up… wishing you'd held on
Friends grow distant, children leave
Some prayers break before they reach
And every scar got somebody's name
Some from loss and some from shame
We hold regret like it might change time
Like tears can rewind goodbye
But clocks don't stop for the breaking soul
They just keep swinging slow
And all these moments heaven sends
Ain't meant to come around again
Life goes fast, faster than your plans
One blink and it's slipping through your hands
All the love we thought we had time to give
All the hearts we thought would always live
Now I hear God in the silence saying
"Child, don't wait till the light starts fading"
'Cause the days run out, and the years move on
And one day you wake up… wishing you'd held on
So call your mother, hold your friends
Tell somebody you love them again
Don't let pride steal what time won't spare
'Cause life gets gone while you standing there
Life goes fast, faster than your plans
One blink and it's ash inside your hands
So love right now while your heart still beats
Before regret becomes your memory
And when God calls, let Him find you living
Not counting all the things gone missing
'Cause the days run out, and the years move on
So hold them close… while you still got someone
Time don't warn you when it's leaving
So love 'em while they're here
