Lyrics

When it's your time to go

VERSE ONE

The service is over
I head up to the house
I see his old guitar
It's lying on the couch
And my old baseball glove
I thought I threw away
He always took the time
Teaching me to play
He'd say life can be unfair, sometimes you come in last
You can change tomorrow but you can't change the past

CHORUS

Daddy use to always say
Son tomorrow is another day
Don't waste your life looking back
Chasing yesterdays
He'd say
Kiss your wife each and every day
Take your kids outside and play
Give them all the love you've got to show
Because you never know, you will never know
When it's your time to go

VERSE TWO

There's that picture of us
On my graduation day
I can still hear his voice
And what he had to say
He said, Son I'm so proud of you
There's nothing you can't do
And my tears fell on that old wood floor
I can hear his voice; it's ringing in my ears
Even though he's gone, it feels like he's right here

Chorus

Bridge

I'm sure heaven has got him now
I know he'll hear me somehow
There's something I forgot to do
Say I Love you.

TAG
Hug your wife each and every day
Teach your kids to kneel and pray
Give them all the love you've got to show
Because you never know, you will never know
When it's your time to go

Great writing. I really like the lyrics and storyline of this song. The vocals, instrumentation, and production were all well put together, making this a very easy song to listen to. I think this is perfectly marketable Country song, one that I would enjoy hearing on the Radio.
