Far too late I realized that another day and another time was yesterday!

Once when there was life in me,
I took it for granted,
I waited far too long, thinking I had time
Maybe to say "I Love You" or just to be around
To light up someone's life and maybe even mine

I put off the day and then realized far too soon it was night
Time had passed through my procrastination
Precious time that I couldn't ever have again
Or grasp and hold, and maybe even sing and dance

Once, said like it was in the past
Only, it was yesterday that I had missed out on
Never to hold or grasp in my hand
Never to sing or dance again

Time flew past like it always did
It never checked with the clock before it ticked another minute

Far too soon, it was time to die
And far too late, I realized that I needed more time
To live, maybe to do the things I never did for lack of time
Or just to sing and dance, to say "I Love You",
For another chance to see the other side of the world
That was not within my reach
The one I wasted time, ignored and left out of my plans
Thinking
I could do it another day, another time,

Far too late, I realized that another day and another time was yesterday!
