about

Words Last is about saying the things that matter. Words said can last forever. Written for a friend who was in hospice care.

lyrics

Everything we say and everything we do it all comes back to you somehow
It circles back. Every time the moment stays it never lasts

Everything we say lasts. Try to make each day last.
Though it’s a pleasant place to be
Just don’t get trapped in memories of the past.
You’ve got to live it for today and never let it slip away.

Time stops for you. You’ve got to hold those memories close to you.
Let their loveliness shine on through, and it circles back to you.

All I need to say I need to say to you it’s up to me to speak the truth
And heed the call. Let it come straight from the heart like petals fall.

Everything we say lasts. Try to make each day last.
Though it’s a pleasant place to be
Just don’t get trapped in memories of the past.

You’ve got to live it for today and never let it slip away.
Words last, words last – They last!
Let them fall, let them fall, like petals from your heart.
You’ve got to live it for today and never let it slip away.

Words Last!
