"Life To My Days" lyrics - DOYLE LAWSON & QUICKSILVER

I wish we all could live at least until we're 90
Without any aches, or pains, or a cloudy mind
I wish everyone could taste the kind of love they dream of finding
And get to see their ship come sailin' in at least one time

I've been here long enough to know
That ain't the way it always goes

[Chorus:]
So if I'm one of those travelers whose journeys gets cut short
And leave the ones I leave behind wishin' I had more time
All I can say is I can't add more days to my life
So I'll add more life to my days

So today, when I get home from work, I ain't jumpin' on that mower
I'm gonna grab my boy and his Zebco, that old yard can wait
And later on tonight I'll kiss his mama and I'll show her
That she still gives me butterflies, just like on our first date

Those moments don't last long
We blink, and then they're gone

[Chorus:]
So if I'm one of those travelers whose journeys gets cut short
And leave the ones I leave behind wishin' I had more time
All I can say is I can't add more days to my life
So I'll add more life to my days

[Bridge:]
Gonna head on down to Sanibel, spend a week or two this summer
Keep the TV off and wrestle with the kids
Call mama up just to hear her voice and say I love her
Some day I'll never get that chance again

[Chorus:]
So if I'm one of those travelers whose journeys gets cut short
And leave the ones I leave behind wishin' I had more time
All I can say is I can't add more days to my life
So I'll add more life to my days
