While I Can

If today was my last day

I’d call my mom out of the blue

Take the time the words, the words I seldom do

I’d leave my suitcase in the closet

And tell the world it'll have to wait

Then I take my little girl

On an ice cream date

What am I waiting for?

It ain’t like I'm gonna live forever

I don’t wanna miss it anymore

So from now on it’s now or never

I'm gonna hold on to what matters

And let the rest slip through my hands

What I would do

Is what I will do

While I can

I’d bring home baby’s favorite flowers

Leave my work outside the door

And we’d laugh about how we both forgot

What we were mad at each other for

I’d let go of all my grudges

Make the choice to just forgive

And spend the rest of my time free

From all this hate and bitterness

So what am I waiting for?

It ain’t like I'm gonna live forever

I don’t wanna miss it anymore

So from now on it’s now or never

I'm gonna hold on to what matters

And let the rest slip through my hands

What I would do

Is what I will do

While I can

If today was my last day

And it was almost time to go

I’d pick up that old bible

And I'd put down my phone

I’d watch the steam rise from my coffee

And the Sun rise in the sky

And I’d thank the lord for one more chance

To try and get it right

What am I waiting for?

It ain’t like I'm gonna live forever

I don’t wanna miss it anymore

So from now on it’s now or never

I'm gonna hold on to what matters

And let the rest slip through my hands

What I would do

Is what I will do

While I can

What I would do

Is what I will do

While I can
