How much would you pay
For a single extra day
For the eloquence to say goodbye
And how can you explain
To the ones who must remain
Not to search for one to blame or question why
And when the time has come
And my life has left and gone
You can search toward the sun and see me there
I will always be a part
For this life has made start
And is carried in the hearts of those who care
And if you remember me as I remember you
With life and love and joy within your eyes
If you can think of me I'll always be with you
We'll never have to say our last goodbye
though it's only a short while
I will do my best to smile
Through each and every trial I carry on
To make precious in any way
The gift of each new day
Till the song begins to fade and the music's gone
Make the most of what you've got
Squeeze the life from every drop
Don't waste your time and stop to shed a tear
For the moments we now share
Will continue to be there
So always be aware I will be near
For if the answers should be shown
And the reasons truly known
We never could have grown together
By staring through the dark
To the light in every heart
We can leave our mark forever
Though the friendships that we make
And the hearts we have to break
Can build into a wake of sorrow
The bonds we forge in pain
Are the ones that will remain
And their memories will contain all our tomorrows
In the river of life's dreaming
There's a drift toward some meaning
Though the current may be stealing us away
But we need that end in mind
To give value to our time
To focus us to find our way
