Roses

What if I told you that your time was up?
That as every second passes there's a moment gone
In twenty three hours the sun was gonna set forever

Would you hug a little tighter?
Would you let go first?
Would you focus on love and then forget the hurt?
Live in the moment or wish your life away?

How would you spend your last night on earth?
Would you kiss your enemies, say sorry first?
Would you take enough time to say your last goodbyes?

All the little battles that you never won
All the music and the opera never sung
Emotions that were silent all these years

You can't smell the roses when you're gone
You can't smell the roses
No it's not a rehearsal
You only get one life to make it right

You can't smell the roses when you're gone
So live every moment
Like it's the last night on earth
'Cause this is the last night on earth

What if I told you that I had regrets?
I would trade in all my happiness for one last kiss
For a minute or two lying by your side

What if I chose the road nobody walked?
If I honored all my promises with empty talk?
If I knew back then the things that I know now?

I would tell you that I love you, that we all get low
There are peaks and there are valleys, you've got to know
That a second chance, it rarely comes around

You can't smell the roses when you're gone
You can't smell the roses
No it's not a rehearsal
You only get one life to make it right

You can't smell the roses when you're gone
So live every moment
Like it's the last night on earth

If I could have my time again
I would make sure you knew just how I felt
Because I went away for much too long
And the seasons changed without me

You can't smell the roses when you're gone
You can't smell the roses
No it's not a rehearsal
You only get one life to make it right

You can't smell the roses when you're gone
So live every moment
Like it's the last night on earth
As if it's the last night on earth
'Cause this is the last night on earth
