While I Can

Lyrics

If today was my last day
 I'd call my mom out of the blue
 Take the time to say the words I seldom do
 I'd leave my suitcase in the closet
 And tell the world it'll have to wait
 Then I'd take my little girl on an ice cream date
 What am I waiting for?
 It ain't like I'm gonna live forever
 I don't wanna miss it anymore
 So from now on it's now or never
 I'm gonna hold on to what matters
 And let the rest slip through my hands
 What I would do
 Is what I will do
 While I can
 ♪
 I'd bring home baby's favourite flowers
 Leave my work outside the door
 And we'd laugh about how we both forgot
 What we were mad at each other for
 I'd let go of all my grudges
 Make the choice to just forgive
 Spend the rest of my time free
 From all this hate and bitterness
 So what am I waiting for?
 It ain't like I'm gonna live forever
 I don't wanna miss it anymore
 So from now on it's now or never
 I'm gonna hold on to what matters
 And let the rest slip through my hands
 What I would do
 Is what I will do
 While I can
 ♪
 If today was my last day
 And it was almost time to go
 I'd pick that old bible
 And I'd put down my phone
 I'd watch the steam rise from my coffee
 The sunrise in the sky
 And I'd thank the lord for one more chance
 To try and get it right
 What am I waiting for?
 It ain't like I'm gonna live forever
 I don't wanna miss it anymore
 So from now on it's now or never
 I'm gonna hold on to what matters
 And let the rest slip through my hands
 What I would do
 Is what I will do
 While I can
 What I would do
 Is what I will do
 While I can
