If I Only Had Today

IF I ONLY HAD TODAY

by Hilary Weeks

It seems like I've watched a million sunsets

And stared at a thousand full moons

Sometimes it feels like I've been here forever

And sometimes it all feels brand new

I could never count the heartbeats

From the day I was born until now

But not a single one goes unnoticed

By Him who breathes life in me somehow

But if there were no more tomorrows

If I knew that I could not stay

I know how I'd spend every minute

If I only had today

I'd hold you and listen

And I'd let the dishes sit in the sink

I'd tell you I love you over and over

And for once I'd just let the phone ring

Then I'd remind you of forever

And how our love would never change

If I only had today

I'd wake up before the sun did

And I'd watch as you quietly sleep

I'd pray for time to move slowly

Knowing the moment won't keep

All the gifts that Heaven has given

Every blessing that's come my way

Wouldn't mean anything without you

So if I only had today

I'd hold you and listen

I'd memorize every detail of your face

I'd tell you I loved you over and over

I wouldn't let excuses get in the way

Then I'd remind you of forever

And how our love would never change

If I only had today

There's no time like the present

Life doesn't come with any guarantees

The sun will set and time won't wait

So while I have today

I'll hold you and listen

And I'll let the dishes sit in the sink

I'll tell you I loved you over and over

And for once I'll just let the phone ring

Then I'll remind you of forever

And how our love will never change

If I only had today
