TODAY

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?


If Today Was Your Last Day lyrics

Live them.

GRANDPA

Grandpa
Tell me about the good ol days
Sometimes it feels like
This worlds gone crazy
Grandpa
Take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so hazy
(chorus)
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside eachother come what may
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddy's really never go away
But whoa whoa grandpa
Tell me bout the good ol days
---
Grandpa
Everything is changing fast
We call it progress
But I just don't know
And Grandpa
Let's wander back into the passed
And paint me the picture
Of long ago
(chorus)
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside eachother come what may
Was a promise something people kept
Not just something they would say
And then forget
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddys really never go away
But whoa whoa grandpa
Tell me bout the good ol days
Whoa whoa Grandpa
Tell me bout the good ol days ....

~ Lyrics by The Judds

My aunt sent me this photo inside my birthday card. My granddaddy died from cancer when I was just a babe, but I have imagined questions I would have asked if he was still around.
