Put a stick into the soil and watch the shadows turn,
And time, in unrelenting ways, will make the minutes burn,
A leaf will turn from green to gold, and time will have her way,
She'll sneak in after dark, and then she'll swallow up today,
'Cause time will have her way.

Time is such a treasure, live in every minute,
Life is such a pleasure, it ripens while you're in it,
Love's the only measure, miss it and you forfeit remains of the day.

They were close in every way, but one soul had to fly,
And there was no love left unsaid the day they said goodbye,
Now, you can live your life for what you should have said or done, or you can speak you love alive,
Don't let it go undone, the things you should have done.

Time is such a treasure, live in every minute,
Life is such a pleasure, it ripens while you're in it,
Love's the only measure, miss it and you forfeit.

Regrets are scarring, bruising,
Memories are sustaining, raining,
Speak the words of life and love with all the time remaining.

Time is such a treasure, live in every minute,
Life is such a pleasure, it ripens while you're in it,
Love's the only measure, miss it and you forfeit remains of the day.
