Gary McSpadden - Love Them While We Can lyrics

[Verse 1] They tied our shoes Took us to school Patched our worn out jeans They soothed our tears And calmed our fears And listened to our dreams Somewhere along their golden years Their hair has lost it's sheen The notes to hymn 110 Crackle when they sing And now they are alone No children's voices fill their empty homes [Chorus] We must love them while we can We must love them while we can Time just seems to hurry by And the days slip into years And the moments that we have will disappear So love them while we can [Verse 2] The folks that taught us our first words Still have much to say The silver secrets of the world Lie beneath those crowns of grey As they approach the end We change our role from children to best friends [Chorus] We must love them while we can We must love them while we can Time just seems to hurry by And the days slip into years And the moments that we have will disappear So love them while we can
