Lyrics

Three Days To See
Words and Music Linda Cullum
Folk, Acoustic
(Inspired by Helen Keller)

Verse One
If I had three days to see
I believe the very first thing would be
To watch the early sun rise above the trees

And on the first day to see
I'd explore the things that are dear to me
I'd start with every nook and cranny in my home

Chorus
Every day would be a treasure ship
With every hold filled with treasure chests
I'd be a pirate looting with my eyes

Verse Two
And on the next day to see
I'd call upon the faces that I feel
I'd look long into the window of their soul

And on the third day of sight
With the upcoming darkness of eternal night
I'd take my eyes to the ocean and walk an endless shore

Chorus
Every day would be a treasure ship
With every hold filled with treasure chests
I'd be a pirate looting with my eyes

Bridge
Every step is a memory
And one that I will always see
In my mind's eye

Verse THree
When you look at something how many of you really see?
Can you tell me the color of your lover's eyes?
If you had three days to see you'd be
You'd be sure to know of these things
You'd see each day as if it were your last

Chorus
Every day would be a treasure ship
With every hold filled with treasure chests
You'd be a pirate looting with your eyes

Three days to see
Three days to see
Three days to see
