If taken for granted,
Dear, the Clock will wind down
With the hours you've sat
Idle and sad with a frown.
You'll rewind tomorrow.
If taken for granted
They'll be another day,
Dear, put off things to do
Or words you have to say.
They'll be time tomorrow.
If taken for granted
Your loved ones remain near;
Won't need those special times
Forever lost, my dear.
You'll see them tomorrow.
If taken for granted
You've heard these words before
Take this advice to heart:
Now. This day. Dear, no more-
Can't promise tomorrow.
