Last Time

I cannot tell you how hard this was to write.    I have walked away from this about 10 times..... but I think i have finally finished it.  (It's a bit long, but I don't really care    )

For those  who are older and have seen their kids grow up - I think it may hit home. For those who still have children (or Grandchildren) in their home... I hope it rings true for you.    (I hope you like it.

{t:  Last Time}

[G]We all take for granted our priceless time upon this earth
seems we [C] get too busy,  and  forget  what it's[G]  worth
[G] we expect precious moments, each day like the day before,
but when we [D]learn it's  the last time, it leaves us [C] cryin' out  for [G]more

Chorus 1

Oh,  things like
[D]singing to your baby when its [C] time for them to [G]nap
or [D]reading them their favorite book ,while [C] sitting on your [G]lap
[C] marking up the kitchen  wall , to [G] see how much they've grown
or [D] sitting on their bed at night,  cuz it's  [C]too dark to be [G]alone

yeah [G]there's a last time for everything, but you hardly  know when
things you've[C] done a hundred times before, but will [G]never do again
see [G] tomorrow changes everything , it   always comes too  fast
and those [D]yesterdays, they fade away,  how I [C]wish that  they would [G] last

Chorus 2

Oh things like
[D] putting bubbles in bath water, and [C]helping to tie their [G]shoes
[D]Singing wheels on the bus,  and [C] counting two  by [G] two
[C]Sitting on the 'ol  front porch [G]  trying to name the stars
And [D]playing tag or hide n' seek, building[C] snowmen in the[G] yard

[G] tomorrow isn't  promised , who knows what the future holds
Oh those [C] winds of change are blowing, with  di[G]rection seldom known
those [G]loving times  together, may  never come again
Today [D]might be your last chance, since [C] only  God knows [G] when

Chorus 3

Oh  things like
[D] Laughing  at a silly joke, catching  [C] fireflies at [G]night
Or [D]campfires with a guitar, singing [C] songs that sound just [G]right
[C]Telling little secrets  making [G] sand  castles at the shore
Or [D]trying to  be the last to say "I [C] love you even [G]more"

[G]be sure to say all the  words,   you’ve  always hoped  to say
if to[C] morrow never comes, have  no re[G]grets about today.
The next [G]shared moment   may be the last that you get
so make it [D] really something special, one   you [C]never will for[G]get

Chorus 4

just like
[D]sharing an ice cream cone , or [C] playing make be[G]lieve
[D]Running through a sprinkler , or [C]jumping through some [G]leaves
[C]Walking barefoot in the grass , see  an [G] angel  on a cloud
Putting  [D] band aids on  little scrapes, and [C] laughing really [G] loud

yeah [G]there's a last time for everything, but you hardly ever know when
things you've [C] done a hundred times before, but will [G]never do again
see [G] tomorrow changes everything ,and  it  always comes too  fast
and those [D]yesterdays, they fade away,  how I [C]wish that  they would [G]last
those [D]yesterdays, they fade away,  how I [C]wish that  they would [G]last
those [D]yesterdays, they fade away,  how I [C]wish I could  make them [G]last  (fade out )
