Jimmy Fortune before they re gone

We’ve all taken things for granted
Sometime we only get one chance
So make the best of what you’re given
Before it slips right through our hands
Dream your dreams, sing your songs
Gather memories and hold on
Catch the wind, feel the sun
Say “I love you” to someone
Before they’re gone, before they’re gone
Look into your children’s eyes
Help them dry the tears they cry
These moments are precious and so few
They become what they see in you
So hold their hands, give them hope
Heal their hurt and help them cope
Teach them love, you will find
That there’s just a little time
Before they’re gone, before they’re gone
Before we can change this world we see
It all begins with you and me
So dream your dream, sing your songs
Gather memories and hold on
Catch the wind, feel the sun
Give forgiveness to someone
Before they’re gone, before they’re gone
Before they’re gone, before they’re gone
