 Time it`s the ultimate gift

How we spend it

Who we spend it with

Listening, laughing, loving, living

It`s not about who or what we`ve lost
     Bm7
But what we all gained by being together
        G
`Cause that`s when life truly comes into focus

It`s these moments that matter
         A
That enrich our lives

 D
The stories we take with us
               Bm7
The memories we hold on to forever

So make sure you take it in

`Cause one day

All you`ll have of them

Is a picture
