While You Still Can

Make amends with that old friend

You swore you'd never talk to again

Because you miss him

Call up your mom on the telephone

Talk a whole lot of nothing till the cows come home

And listen

Cross every T dot most the I's

'Cause years grow wings and fly on by

And time slips through your fingers just like sand

Because everything you thought would last forever

Never lasts forever like you plan

Don't let your night become another

So take life by the hands while you still can

Get your daddy to tell that same old joke

And laugh between the jack and coke

And hope one day you'll be half as funny

Count your blessings and your stars

It's in the air and who you are

It's about the wealth you give

It sure as hell ain't about the money

Because everything you thought would last forever

Never lasts forever like you plan

Don't let your night become another

So take life by the hands while you still can

You just imagine

Anything can happen if you live every moment like your last

Because everything you thought would last forever

Never lasts forever like you plan

Don't let your night become another

So take life by the hands while you still can
