Only Here For A Little While

Gonna hold who needs holdin' Mend what needs mendin' Walk what needs walkin' Though it means an extra mile Pray what needs prayin' Say what needs sayin' Cause we're only here for a little while Today I stood singin' songs and sayin' Amen Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young He spent his life workin' hard to chase a dollar Putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done Made me start thinking "What's the hurry, why the runnin'? I don't like what I'm becoming, gonna change my style Take my time and I take it all for granted " Cause we're only here for a little while Gonna hold who needs holdin' Mend what needs mendin' Walk what needs walkin' Though it means an extra mile Pray what needs prayin' Say what needs sayin' Cause we're only here for a little while Let me love like I'll never see tomorrow Treat each day as though it's borrowed Like it's precious as a child Whoa, take my hand Let us reach out to each other Cause we're only here for a little while Gonna hold who needs holdin' Mend what needs mendin' Walk what needs walkin' Though it means an extra mile Pray what needs prayin' Say what needs sayin' Cause we're only here for a little while Gonna hold who needs holdin' Mend what needs mendin' Walk what needs walkin' Though it means an extra mile Pray what needs prayin' Say what needs sayin' Cause we're only here for a little while --- Only Here for a Little While - Billy Dean
