Right Before My Eyes
Lessons learned
And lifetimes lost
Memories made
Many more that I forgot
The days tick past
And I fail to recognize
That what I miss the most
Was right before my eyes
All the time
The things I feared
Were never really there
I focused on them still
With nothing left to spare
The weeks flew past
And they didn't stop to say
That as they faded from my mind
Only memories remain
Beyond today
This treasured day
For which we never asked
It fades like the next one will
They never last
The months sped past
And we never took the time
To notice what's in front of us
It was our greatest crime
Our greatest crime
Someday we know
One of us will go
Stop and just breathe
Feel the moving air
Take a moment to realize
And just be aware
The years race by
And you begin to show me how
To taste the moments
And to breathe in the skies
And lifetimes lost
Memories made
Many more that I forgot
The days tick past
And I fail to recognize
That what I miss the most
Was right before my eyes
All the time
The things I feared
Were never really there
I focused on them still
With nothing left to spare
The weeks flew past
And they didn't stop to say
That as they faded from my mind
Only memories remain
Beyond today
This treasured day
For which we never asked
It fades like the next one will
They never last
The months sped past
And we never took the time
To notice what's in front of us
It was our greatest crime
Our greatest crime
Someday we know
One of us will go
Stop and just breathe
Feel the moving air
Take a moment to realize
And just be aware
The years race by
And you begin to show me how
To taste the moments
And to breathe in the skies
