no time to borrow

life is okay for a while

when you're healthy and young

but it doesn't prepare you

for what will become

when you start losing people

when their living is through

and you know someday

death will be looking for you

I try to live in the present

in the here and now

I've heard it's possible

but I don't know how

I try not to worry

I try not to fret

but lost in the moment

sometimes I forget

          so hold me now

          let me pretend today

          that it'll all be okay

          and that the sun will rise tomorrow

          hold me close

          help me to allow

          what's happening now

          I have no time to borrow

look at the news

it's all going wrong

we are not living

the way we can belong

this world is hard

the going gets rough

and the problem is life

isn't long enough

          so hold me now...

I look into your eyes

and you look into mine

both of us are looking

for ways to be kind

I know that somedy

we'll both disappear

but for right now

it's good that you're here

          so hold me now...
