Lyrics
A LITTLE TOO LONG
Verse: An old man walked without his cane,
Never talked about his pain.
Broke a hip, the doctor said.
Now he can't get out of bed.
CHORUS: Life is way too short, years are way too few.
Time will not support all we wanna do.
But it takes all our strength to say that's not wrong,
When sometimes life may seem a little too long.
Verse: She's doing things she can't explain,
Once again forgot her name.
A visit from her family,
Helps her find some dignity.
(Repeat CHORUS)
Bridge: In their hearts they knew it might turn out this way,
So they lived their lives with passion, every single day.
(Repeat CHORUS)
