Pocket Full of Days

Sat here with your hand wrapped 'round mine Holding on for dear life, not like the first time Doctor looks over his glasses as he reads from the screen Delivers the news like it's all a bad dream As his voice fades away like he's talking in space I watch as the tears roll down your face I need you to know when my time comes to go I'll stay by your side 'til it's your time to follow When we held hands that first time I knew I'd met the love of my life Now we can't fight this fire With all the tears that we're crying All our lives slowly tick away But what will we do with just a pocket full of days? Photo albums scattered all over the floor We laughed, we cried, then laughed some more As our teardrops soak the floor Reminiscing on the times we had Our teary haze starts to clear Our love may have started on this earth But our story won't end here Driving home, I crack a joke, you force a smile through the pain Through thick and thin together, and this time is just the same We make a list of things to do, you Whisper, "Why did we leave it so long?" Old excuses seem so silly now, and time keeps marching on Money too tight or just couldn't find the time Amazing what each day is worth when you're counting down the line All our lives slowly tick away But what will we do with just a pocket full of days? Photo albums scattered all over the floor We laughed, we cried, then laughed some more As our teardrops soak the floor Reminiscing on the times we had Our teary haze starts to clear Our love may have started on this earth But our story won't end here The weeks roll by, when it's quiet and I'm alone I shout at God, "I'm not ready to come home" But He pours His peace upon me I know it's all gonna be alright I close my eyes that final time To wake up in His light Flying through galaxies Past the moon and stars With our eyes wide open See why His plans outshone ours From this view, there's no more sorrow No more wishing for tomorrow Time, it's such a funny thing One last breath, then everything I take your hand just like that day Only now it never slips away All those years are with us still An eternity of dreams to fill Our lives quickly tick away But look what we did with that pocket full of days Now I wrap my arms around you And we know that it's alright I'll hold you forever in the warmth of God's bright light We won't need photo scattered on the floor Every day in paradise will mean so much more Flying through His stars, hand in hand As forever starts once more Without the chains of destiny Just Heaven's open doors
