Words to Remind Me

I got the call on a Sunday
It was mom
She said
"Hey Son
We don't want you to worry
But we got the news today
And our life's about to change"
I was paralyzed on the phone
Not knowing what to say
But I remember what she told me like it was yesterday
She said...

Try to live in each moment
Make the most of each day
It's a precious gift of life
You don't want to wish it all away
As you pray every morning
Give thanks for what you have
Love the ones your with
And hold onto their hands
Cuz as you get older
Things happen and they change
And people leave
And you don't wanna regret a thing

I moved out on a weekend
Packed the truck
Backed it up
Out of the driveway
There was mom in the window
Watching
Me pull away
With tears rollin' down her face
There was nothing easy
About saying goodbye
But she sent me on my journey with words I've learned to live by

Try to live in each moment
Make the most of each day
It's a precious gift of life
You don't want to wish it all away
As you pray every morning
Give thanks for what you have
Love the ones your with
And hold onto their hands
Cuz as you get older
Things happen and they change
And people leave
And you don't wanna regret a thing

So When I get lost in what's gone or what's to be
I find these words to remind me

Try to live in each moment
Make the most of each day
It's a precious gift of life
You don't want to wish it all away
As you pray every morning
Give thanks for what you have
Love the ones your with
And hold onto their hands
Cuz as you get older
Things happen and they change
And people leave
And you don't wanna regret a thing
