John Mapes - For Granted

Another day slips away
Like the sun drifts to night
Another year disappears
In the blink
Of an eye
How could we have known
How quickly it flies by
And I'm left here missing my old life
And I have taken
Too much for granted
I've been caught off guard
Too many times before
And I am jaded
And empty handed
And I know now more than ever that this
This time is short
Let's hold on tight
Another word have you heard
Another conversation gone
Another laugh in the bag
How has it been so long
How could we have known
We were close to the end
And I'm left here missing my old friends
And I have taken
Too much for granted
I've been caught off guard
Too many times before
And I am jaded
And empty handed
And I know now more than ever that this
This time is short
Let's hold on tight
They say
We don't know what we have till it's gone
But the truth is we've known it all along
Just never expected to
To lose it all
To lose it all
And I have taken
Too much for granted
And I know now more than ever that this
This time is short
Let's hold on tight
