Lyrics

Up every day before the morning sun
doing my best to try and get things done
and if I can I try to have some fun
If I have the time

The days slip by me don't know where they go
while all the lines in my face start to show
do what I can the rest I just don't know
If I had the time

Dad used to say that just one lifetime
would surely never be enough
you need the first one just to figure out
what you want to do
and another one to make those dreams come true

The other day the moon blocked out the sun
I missed the show I'm not the only one
my day ain't over when the day is done
If I had the time

Dad used to say that just one lifetime
would surely never be enough
you need the first one just to figure out
what you want to do
and another one to make those dreams come true

The time we have in life is fleeting
and it's easy to forget just what you've got
before you know it they'll be leaving
so take some time in the up hill climb
to love the ones you love a lot

A lot of things I'd like to say I'd done
If I have time I will do every one
but life is short just like a setting sun
If I had the time

I know I'll never get a second chance
I got this one life gonna learn to dance
but if I don't I'll still be making plans
If I had the time
If I had the time
If I had the time

Hooked from the opening notes. The harmonies are great, the voices blend so well together. Memorizing at times. The guitar work is truly great and sets the tone for the entire song. I love the way the vocals and guitar play off one another in the verse. The blue note at the end of the verse is perfect. I enjoyed it lyrically, but I did have a little trouble understanding all the words.
