A MATTER OF TIME (nuvocoke@gmail.com)

Live, love, laugh, learn, laugh, love, live...

Live your life as if today were almost over
and tomorrow had already come and passed into yesterday.
Love the one you're with as if they were the one and only one
over all time and space and time were almost over and their space
had finally got in the way...
Laugh and smile at every opportunity to do so as if you'd already
wiped the tears of joy from your eyes... and learn to dream
the dreams you used to dare to dream before you grew up and had to realize...

It's all just a matter of time... and time doesn't matter at all...
In the end everything will be fine, so relax if your back's to the wall.
When you color outside of the lines, maybe the lines shouldn't be there at all...
all just a matter of time... and time doesn't matter at all...

Live, love, laugh, learn, laugh, love, live...

Live & love & laugh & hope & plan & dream with all your heart, mind, body, soul
and any other hat you might throw into that ring.
Stop and smell a flower. Gaze up at the sky. Marvel at the sun and moon as they go by
and make the stars plenty of wishes to bring.
Fill each day with pre-planned random acts of kindness. Think before you speak
and don't forget silence is like gold, so listen and learn...
and that ol' golden rule's still up to me and you, so let's give everyone an extra turn,

('cause), It's all just a matter of time... and time doesn't matter at all...
In the end everything will be fine, so relax if your back's to the wall.
When you color outside of the lines, maybe those lines don't exist at all.
all just a matter of time... and time doesn't matter at all...

Live, love, laugh, learn, laugh, love, live...

Live your life as if today were almost over
and tomorrow had already come and passed.
Love the one you're with as if they were the one and only one
over all time and space and they would surely be your very, very last.
Laugh and smile at every opportunity to do so... it's always much better
than having to cry... and learn to dream the dreams you used to dare to dream,
then reach out and touch the sky... Reach out and touch the sky...

Live, love, laugh, learn... it's all just a matter of time...
and time doesn't matter at all, because we're the colors outside of those lines.
