Love Them While We Can

Lyrics

We must love, love them while we can We must love, love them while we can They tied our shoes, took us to school Patched our worn-out jeans They soothed our tears and childish fears And listened to our dreams Somewhere along their golden years Their hair has lost its sheen The notes of hymn 110 Crackle when they sing Now they are alone No children's voices Filling up their homes We must love, love them while we can We must love, love them while we can The folks that taught us our first words Still have much to say The silver secrets of this world Lie beneath those crowns of grey As they approach the end They change our role From children to best friends Love, love them while we can We must love, love them while we can We always thought they'd be around 'Til the end of time 'Til one day we wake and find We must love, love them while we can We must love, love them while we can We must love, love them while we can We must love, love them while we can
