What we have until it is gone.
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."
We hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things
To tear our lives apart.
For it's just about to turn.
Don't quit your doubts and questions,
For there's something you may learn.
For it's just a while until dawn.
Don't quit when you've run the farthest,
For the race is almost won.
For your goal is almost nigh.
Don't quit, for you're not a failure
Until you fail to try.
Unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
To see what made us blind.
How much they mean to you.
Take the time to say the words
Before your time is through.
Everything you've got;
And be thankful for the little things
in life that mean a lot.
