"If Only..."

How quickly life passes us by
The grains in the hourglass almost gone
What it is to remember the people
Who have already left this world
We realise how lucky we are to still be here
Left only with the memories and regrets
But life's too short to only dwell
On what could've, should've been done
How things might've turned out differently
If only...

How quickly the sun disappears
Rays dipping low beyond the horizon
But even when only the darkness remains
It's hard to forget the brilliance
That lights our lives every day
We realise aren't we lucky to still be here
Left with the chance to make things right
To do what could, should be done
Because life's too short to keep on thinking
If only...
