LYRIC FOR SALE

By None

I was feeling pretty high, got the big deal closed and signed
Met my buddy for a beer to celebrate
But as we toasted my successes, he was looking sorta pensive
So I asked what’s causing him to hesitate
Said since I’m nearing my fifties my priorities have shifted
And I sure don’t mean to rain on your parade
There’s just so much potential to make a day more consequential
I can’t help but count the wins a different way

Chorus
Did you laugh, did you cry, did you feel joy inside
Did you earn a smile from somebody you love
Did you joke, did you sing, or did you do the same old thing
Did you marvel at the heavens above

Did you learn something new, did you change your point of view
Really listen to what someone had to say
Did you get up when you stumbled, help a neighbor out of trouble
Pay a compliment and make somebody's day

Did you live in the moment with the people most important
Did you savor every hour along the way
Cuz it’s the living that matters, not the meetings and the chatter
When you calculate the value of a day

Verse
That night in bed I felt the weight of what he said
And I thought of all I’d let slip away
Maybe it’s not what I got done, but the people and the love
That ought to put the value in my day

Life can surely be swift and each day is a gift
And it’s easy to squander them away
I can always be kinder, I just needed a reminder
To appreciate the value of a day

Chorus
Did you laugh, did you cry, did you feel joy inside
Did you earn a smile from somebody you love
Did you joke, did you sing, or did you do the same old thing
Did you marvel at the heavens above

Did you learn something new, did you change your point of view
Really listen to what someone had to say
Did you get up when you stumbled, help a neighbor out of trouble
Pay a compliment and make somebody's day

Did you live in the moment with the people most important
Did you savor every hour along the way
Cuz it’s happiness and peace and the memories that you’ll keep
That let you celebrate the value of your day
