TIME TO CARE

A HOUSE WITH TWO PEOPLE,
ONE READING, ONE IN BED.
A HOUSE, OH! SO QUIET
WITH NO WORDS BEING SAID.

HOW SAD IT IS TO THINK
OF SO MUCH LEFT UNSAID.
ALL THOSE YEARS AND OCCASIONS
SINCE THE DAY THEY WERE WED.

OH! FOR A SECOND CHANCE,
JUST A MOMENT OR TWO
TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING,
JUST BETWEEN US TWO.

TIME IS SO SHORT
WE JUST DON'T COMPREHEND
HOW MUCH WE BOTH HAVE,
'TILL THAT VERY BITTER END.

SO NOW IS THE TIME
TO SHOW HOW YOU CARE.
FOR THE DAY MAY SOON COME
WHEN ONE WON'T BE THERE.

THE GIFT YOU HAVE NOW
AND THE LOVE THAT YOU SHARE,
IS NOT MEANT FOR FOREVER,
IT'S NOW WHEN TO CARE.

MARRIAGE HAS DOUBT AND DISPAIR,
IT'S NOT PERFECT BUT BOTH ARE STILL THERE.
SO ENJOY ONE ANOTHER WHILE STILL TOGETHER,
FOR ONCE ONE IS GONE - IT WILL BE FOREVER.
