Borrowed Time

Yes, one billion mornings came
Up through my window pane
Yet no light could I see
Until you gave your love to me
Now ever since that day
Dark clouds have stayed away
Just sunlight through the trees
Since you gave your love to me
And my father told me sun
This life’s a precious one
But I did not believe
Until you gave your love to me
Now everywhere I look
I see an open book
Of endless mystery
Since you gave your love to me
True, we’re all on borrowed time
Tomorrow is not mine
But today’s where I wanna be
Since you gave your love to me
And no matter what they say
I’ll love you anyway
Now I know how good it can be
Since you gave your love to me
And I’m bringing home something
I know you’re gonna like
I’m hoping you haven’t
Made any plans tonight
Grace given, been living
Such a wonderful life
When our bodies leave this land
We’ll still fly hand in hand
The honey and the bee
Since you gave your love to me
And that don’t scare me none
We’re older than the sun
In hope’s a friend you see
I’ll say it again, hope is a friend
Since you gave your love to me
