Love Em While You Can

(album: Rayne Johnson - 2020)

Whiskey finally caught up to 'em
Took the life right out of 'em
We were cracking jokes in the hospital room when the
Doctor said there's nothing he can do

And I was mad as hell cause he
Did it all to himself and I
Spent more time judging 'stead a loving
Now I'm wishing I could get the time back
But time doesn't work like that

So love 'em while you can
Cause life's too short not to give a damn
Love 'em while you can
Cause you might not get a second chance to
Call up your momma, make sure she's okay
Check on an old friend 'cause life can get crazy
No one knows when the good lord'll take 'em by the hand
So love 'em while you can

Life had finally caught up to her
Second time around cancer coming back to her
She was, 16 the sweetest thing
Straight A's, just made it on the softball team

Her momma never left her side
But daddy he was always working overtime
Too busy making money, 'stead of making memories
Man he's wishing he could get the time back
But time doesn't work like that

So love 'em while you can
Cause life's too short not to give a damn
Love 'em while you can
Cause you might not get a second chance to
Tuck in your babies, make sure they're okay
Hold 'em tight cause this life'll get crazy
No one knows when the good lord'll take 'em by the hand
So love 'em while you can

Never let another day go by thinking you ain't got the time to love somebody
Never let another minute go by thinking you ain't got the time to love somebody
Never let another second go by...

You gotta love 'em, love 'em while you can
Cause life's too short not to give a damn
Love 'em while you can
Cause you might not get a second chance to
Call up your momma, make sure she's okay
Check on new friends 'cause this life'll get crazy
No one knows when the good lord'll take 'em by the hand
So just take 'em by the hand
And love 'em while you can
