Lyrics
One Day Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every moment has a meaning
And time is a precious thing
When we wake up in the morning
Who knows what it's gonna bring?
Life rearranges
All of our best laid plans
Better say what's in your heart
You might not get another chance
So tell them you love them
And do it today
Wait for tomorrow,
Don't wish one day away
Don't wish one day away, oh no
If you've taken folks for granted
Think they'll always been around
It's too late to say you're sorry
When they're sleeping in the ground
So tell them you love them
And do it today
Don't wait for tomorrow
Don't wish one day away
Don't wish one day away
Of all the things we left undone
Of the words we're meant to say
What if we could all have just one more day?
Yeah, yeah
So tell them you love them
And do it today
Don't wait for tomorrow
Don't wait for tomorrow
Don't wait for tomorrow
Don't wish one day away
No, no, no, no, no, don't wish one day away
