One Day I Will Die

I can tell you about the things I did when I was a boy
The things I wore, headbands, slit shirts, bell bottoms, and corduroy
The hikes to the creek were always my favorite thing
Making up songs and the whole way we'd sing

I'd really love to tell you all I can tell you now
Because

One day I will die
And you won't have the chance to talk to me
One day I will die
And the music I write will no longer be
Ask me questions while I'm still here
I've got wisdom to give
Cause one day I will die
And that will be it

I wish my dad would have lived longer, so I could've talked to him
I hope you don't lose this opportunity
And look back and say, "If only when..."
I got stories I can now share, but I couldn't when you were young
I'd like you to see I haven't always been old
I actually used to be fun

I'd really love to tell you all I can tell you now
Because

One day I will die
And you won't have the chance to talk to me
One day I will die
And the music I write will no longer be
Ask me questions while I'm still here
I've got wisdom to give
Cause one day I will die
And that will be it

I don't know what I did but I'll apologize
See it in my eyes
Why do you despise?
I'll get down on my knees if that will help
Can't you tell, for me this is hell

One day I will die
And you won't have the chance to talk to me
One day I will die
And the music I write will no longer be

One day I will die
And you won't have the chance to talk to me
One day I will die
And the music I write will no longer be
Ask me questions while I'm still here
I've got wisdom to give
Cause one day I will die
And that will be it
One day
