  • On the day you came into this world
    That day was all the time in the world
    Day one, a whole span of a life
    And only one sun had ever set on a night
    Because we had no memories
    At least none that I can see
    We come here with a dream
    A little time is all I need

    And on the day we turn twenty-one
    We're now seven thousand six hundred setting suns
    And each day seems to get brighter and better
    And at that age I thought I'd live forever
    Because I was young, mhmm
    And I was having all the fun for me
    Chasing my dreams
    It was a time for living free

    And on the day I turn forty-two
    I start thinking about all I still wanna do
    I've had thousands of hours and chances to do them
    Do dreams disappear if I don't get to them today?
    Are these my best days?
    Or am I only halfway to living my dreams?
    Time be kind to me

    Yeah, a little time is all I need

    And if there's a day I turn sixty-five
    Will I be cashing it in?
    Will I finally retire and be who I'm supposed to be?
    Or will I have to keep working to make my ends meet
    With my aches and my pains to deal with
    I lost friends and I never found Jesus
    Thank God, I still have my dream
    Time is all I need

    Yeah, a little time is all I need
    (Yeah)

    And if there's a day we get to turn one hundred and one
    That'll be more than thirty-six thousand rising suns
    And I'll rise if I can, and I'll dance my old dance
    I imagine I'll probably hike up my pants
    'Cause I've learned how death's always there at our ankles
    Teasing us, teaching us how to be grateful
    'Cause days are now about how well we live them
    How much we've loved and how much we've given away
    Before we're history
    A day is now a century
    And I'm ready to dream a new dream
    A little time is all I need

    (Time is all I need)
    Yeah, a little time is all I need
    (Time is all I need)
    Yeah, a little time is all I need
    (Time is all I need)
    A little time is all I need
    (Time is all I need)
    A little time is all I need Writer/s: Chaska Lela Potter, Jason Thomas Mraz, Mai Sunshine Bloomfield, Mona Tavakoli, Rebecca Emily Gebhardt
