Looking back, what would I say To the person I was that day? I would tell him not to squander the hours And live every moment within each day Time moves on and though we don't dwell On what really matters or those we know well Next thing we know we find ourselves older With life going right and there's no one to tell I remember my mother, my father, my brother And all the friends who've pa**ed on I wasn't looking when somehow or other I turned and found them all gone A second chance, won't come around I tell my young soul to seek solid ground Stand every day with both feet in the present For now I know that's where life can be found I remember my mother, my father, my brother And all my friends who've pa**ed on I wasn't looking when somehow or other I turned and they were gone So looking back, what would I say To the man I was yesterday? I would tell him not to squander the hours And live every moment within each day
