If I Only had Today

This song that Hillary Weeks sings reminds me of Evan, my little brother who passed away.


-It seems like I watched a million sunsets,
-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.
-Not a single one goes unnoticed,
-By Him who breaths 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.
-I'd let the dishes sit in the sink.
-I'd tell you I loved 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 will never change.
-If I only had today.

-I'd wake up before the sun did,
-I watch as you quietly sleep.
-I pray for time to move slowly,
-Knowing the moment won't keep.
-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,
-I'd memorize every detail of your face.
-I'd tell you I loved you over and over,
-Wouldn't let excuses get in the way.
-Then I'd remind you of forever,
-And how our love will never change.
-If I only had today.

-There's no life like the present,
-But, life doesn't come with any guarantees.
-The sun will set, time won't waste,
-So, while I have today.

-I'd hold you and listen.
-I'd let the dishes sit in the sink.
-I'd tell you I loved 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 will never change.
-If I only had today.
-Oh, if I only had today.
