Time is such a treasure
That's quicker lost than found
And when it's gone you search again
For whatever's left around
A second seems like nothing
When you have plenty to spare
You never learn to value them
Until they just aren't there
A minute isn't that much more
So you toss them left and right
And then you're scrambling to find
Enough for one more night
An hour can be wasted
As easily as breath or speech
But when you have to count them down
You learn to make the most of each
In the end I find it easier
To always value time
To cherish every single second
Of every moment that you're mine

Time is such a treasure
That's quicker lost than found
And when it's gone you search again
For whatever's left around
A second seems like nothing
When you have plenty to spare
You never learn to value them
Until they just aren't there
A minute isn't that much more
So you toss them left and right
And then you're scrambling to find
Enough for one more night
An hour can be wasted
As easily as breath or speech
But when you have to count them down
You learn to make the most of each
In the end I find it easier
To always value time
To cherish every single second
Of every moment that you're mine
