What A Difference A Day Makes.....

She's packing her bags, all her soft things
And tomorrow...she'll be gone
I'm racking my brain...searching my soul
For a way to right all my wrongs

I've got so much to lose....
She's one of a kind....
'So much to do...
And so little time...

But, I've got today...
That's all that counts
Twenty four hours of grace
To turn a lifetime around

To make sure she hears
The things I didn't say
I'll need forever....
But, I've got today

So I'll take a walk, down to the corner
With a prayer and my phone
Then I'll make those calls, I should have made
Those times, she was all alone

When she hears my voice
She may hang up
I've got nothing but time
And a heart full of love...

And I've got today
That's all that counts.......
Twenty four hours of grace
To turn a lifetime around...........
