Don'T Procrastinate
Life's sun is setting and as I leave,
a loving mate to soon will grieve.
If I but had more time,
If I but had more time.
Unimportant things I had to do,
leaving precious little time for you.
If I but had more time,
If I but had more time.
As now upon my deathbed I lay,
the words I have but cannot say.
If I but had more time,
If I but had more time.
Those many things I left unsaid,
are now not possible from the dead.
If only I'd taken the time,
If only I'd taken the time.
My body now lowered into the ground,
my spirit's gone and already crowned.
There was so little time,
There was so little time.
This wisdom I leave amid your sorrow,
don't put things off until tomorrow.
For there is so little time,
For there is so little time.
For those who read these lines of prose,
give someone you love a single red rose.
While you still have the time,
While you still have the time.
