Here today and gone tomorrow
is this time called life as it just
flies by at the speed of sound
with your feet barely hitting
the ground and your life may
seem full of sorrow and you're
drowning in bad news and
you always seem to lose but
maybe that is because that is
what you choose and just
don't know it.

Then someone comes out of
nowhere and is that very
special person who really
does care and you begin to
realize that love is everywhere
and together you take that
dare and you live one day
at a time and your life begins
to rhyme and things start to
fall into place.

The days begin to slow
down and you don't wear
that frown anymore because
you have learned to live one
day at a time and not go
too fast because you want
everything to last knowing
that it all goes by way too
fast and that any moment
could be your last.
