Love in the moment

Momma called me last winter
But I didn’t pick up the phone
I regret that decision
Cause the Lord’s called her home

I took her for granted
Like she’d…always be there
Now I’m looking for comfort
In memories and prayer

You gotta love in the moment
Cause time’ll run out
You’re left feeling empty
With a lingering doubt

Did they know that you cared
But kept your nose to the grind
Now your heart’s all knotted
Lord help us to unwind

Like the boys in formation
Whose hearts were young and strong
When we lost them in the desert
In a war that now seems wrong

Wish I woulda told ’em
While they were still alive
Told them that I loved them
Before they went and died

You gotta love in the moment
Cause time’ll run out
You’re left feeling empty
With a lingering doubt

Did they know that you cared
But kept your nose to the grind
Now your heart’s all knotted
Lord help us to unwind

That’s a hard lesson learned
Sewn with bitter tears
So I’m living for to-day
Cause we ain’t promised years

You gotta love in the moment
Cause time’ll run out
You’re left feeling empty
With a lingering doubt

Did they know that you cared
But kept your nose to the grind
Now your heart’s all knotted
Lord help us to unwind
