Don?t Cast Away

Don't you cast away your beautiful days
Wrap them all neatly save them for rainy days
Tuck them all away lock them in a safe
Make sure they will stay you may need them someday.

If you'll find that sometimes, life is not so kind
Don't take precious time try to understand why
Don't let yourself cry in those sleepless nights
When suddenly you find many things don't seem so right.

How many times do you wake up in the night?
How many times do people make you cry?
How many times do you wish the sun would shine?
How many times do you wonder, wonder why?

I hope you will see an eagle in the sky
Flying so high without having to try
Don't need to know why, don't worry about life
Spread out its wings to glide in the peaceful sky.

I wish to have all the beautiful days
I will make you feel the most precious way
I will keep your joy from slipping away
And I will create magic for all your days.

There may be someday we look back in life
There may be someday in your heart you will find
Though sometimes in our life, many things don't seem so kind
But for you and I we've shared a wonderful life.

How many times do you wake up in the night?
How many times do people make you cry?
How many times do you wish the sun would shine?
How many times do you wonder, wonder why?

I will show you an eagle flying above
Gliding so high wherever the wind flows
Never once asks why never wants to know
Never wonder what's in store tomorrow.

I wish to have all the beautiful days
I will make you feel the most precious way
I will keep your joy from slipping away
And I will create magic for all your days.

There may be someday we look back in life
There may be someday in your heart you will find
Though sometimes in our life many things don't seem so kind
But for you and I we've shared a wonderful life.
