  • I get this feeling every year
    The first days of winter
    Pull out that box of souvenirs
    To read your old letters
    In that stack of memories
    Found a note you left for me
    It almost feels like you’re still here

    I hear your voice in every word
    You told me to remember

    Take each day and make it last
    ‘Cause you turn around and the future is the past
    Here and now is all we have
    The beginning and the end mean so little
    What matters most is what’s in the middle

    Makes me smile when I look back
    To every summer
    You’d forget your birthday and just laugh
    And say, it’s just a number
    But Sunday afternoons
    They meant so much to you
    The simple things were golden
    You found beauty in every moment

    Take each day and make it last
    ‘Cause you turn around and the future is the past
    Here and now is all we have
    The beginning and the end mean so little
    What matters most is what’s in the middle

    The day you’re born is just a start
    Your last breath is a question mark
    The story of your life is in the, in between

    Take each day and make it last
    ‘Cause you turn around and the future is the past
    Here and now is all we have

    Take each day and make it last
    ‘Cause you turn around and the future is the past
    Here and now is all we have
    The beginning and the end mean so little
    What matters most is what’s in the middle
