Make Each Moment Last

Little girl sits on a swing, making friends with a white butterfly

Didn't like sand, it slips through her hand, without so much as goodbye

So young and naive, carries the world on her shoulders and her heart on her sleeve

As she gets older she'll learn to understand why

Gotta make each moment last

'Cause it all goes by so fast

You get one shot, you get one time around

In the blink of an eye that little girl got married

In a dress as white as snow

Three kids were born and one by one

They grew up and left home

She'd given them her best

Stood proud with no regrets

She learned that as you travel down that road

Gotta make each moment last

'Cause it all goes by so fast

Yeah, you get one shot, you get one time around

Gotta stop and smell the roses

When you're in love, take time to show it

They come along, before you know they pass

Gotta make each moment last

From an old rocking chair she looks out the window

Faded memories

A department store has opened its doors

Where that old swing used to be

As time marches on

We are set in sand and stone

And we end up with our own

Butterfly wings

Gotta make each moment last

'Cause it all goes by so fast

You get one shot

You get one time around

Gotta stop and smell the roses

When you're in love, take time to show it

They come along, before you know they pass

Gotta make each moment last

Gotta make each moment last
