Roses

What if I told you that your time was up

That as every second passes there's a moment gone

In 23 hours the sun was going to set forever

Would you hug a little tighter would you let go first

Would you focus on love and then forget the hurt

Live in the moment or wish your life away

How would you spend your last night on earth

Would you kiss your enemies

Say sorry first

Would you take enough time to say your last goodbyes

All the little battles that you never won

All the music and the opera never sung

Emotions that were silent all these years

You can't smell the roses when you're gone

You can't smell the roses

No it's not a rehearsal

You only got one life to make it right

You can't smell the roses when you're gone

So live every moment like it's the last night on earth

Because this is the last night on earth

What if I told you that I had regrets

I would trade in all my happiness for one last kiss

For a minute or two lying by you side

What if I chose the road nobody walked

If I honoured all my promises with empty talk

If I knew back then the things that I know now

I would tell you that I love you that we all get low

There are peaks and there are valleys but you've got to know

A second chance it rarely comes around

You can't smell the roses when you're gone

You can't smell the roses

No it's not a rehearsal

You only got one life to make it right

You can't smell the roses when you're gone

So live every moment like it's the last night on earth

If I could have my time again

I would make sure you knew just how I felt

Because I went away for much too long

And the seasons changed without me

You can't smell the roses when you're gone

You can't smell the roses

No it's not a rehearsal

You only got one life to make it right

You can't smell the roses when you're gone

So live every moment like it's the last night on earth

As if it's the last night on earth

Because this is the last night on earth
