Lyrics

[Verse 1] You know I hate to talk about this subject But for some reason, it's been heavy on your mind How you've lived your life and all that you made of it You say you're sorry that you don't have more that you will leave behind Oh, you know I wish that you'd just live forever And you could spend up all the money that you've saved And we could just keep doin' things together The most important thing I need, you already gave [Chorus] You gave me you You gave me time You helped me understand this life that I call mine You don't have to leave a fortune behind 'Cause you gave me time [Verse 2] You could have spent more nights down at the office You were smart enough to make the big-time deals But your heart brought you home to us every evening You were always there to say the prayers before our evening meals Oh, you must have pitched me half a million baseballs You taught me how to stand close to the plate And we must have caught at least nine hundred catfish I can't put a price on all I learned in our talks down by that lake When [Chorus] You gave me you You gave me time You helped me understand this life that I call mine You don't have to leave a fortune behind 'Cause you gave me time [Bridge] So put your mind at rest, and don't you worry There's nothing on this Earth that's worth The gift you gave to me [Chorus] You gave me you You gave me time You helped me understand this life that I call mine You don't have to leave a fortune behind 'Cause you gave me time
