Coming to terms with regrets I had about the things I perhaps should have done with my time, and the letting go of that.

lyrics

Wasted Time © 2013

When the sun came up this morning
My head began to play
A different note
In the song I wrote
Along my way
A cup of Joe, a kiss goodbye
It’s off to work again
But that melody
Kept running through my head
With a sad refrain

Chorus
Time, precious time
You can't change a song
That's been sung
Time, precious time
Just make the best
Of what's to come
But, I wish I hadn't
Wasted my time, on me

*Chorus

Looking back it's clear
I'd change a few things there
Give more time
Find a better rhyme
Tell a friend I care
I'll put aside all I wish I'd done
I've carried that too long
Just make a pact, to not look back
And work on my new song
*Chorus

No I wish I hadn't
Wasted my time, on me
Wasted time
It's a brand new day…
It's a brand new day…
It's a brand new day…
