Too
often we don't realize
what
we have until it's gone
Sometimes
we wait far too long
to
say, "I'm sorry ...I was
wrong"

Why
do we hurt the ones
that
is closest to our heart?
Why
do we allow our pride
to
keep tearing us apart?

I wonder if you think of me
when
couples are strolling along,
And
do you ever hurt inside
when
you hear our favorite song?

And
when it's very quiet
as
you sit there all alone...
Do
you remember my number
when
you look over at the phone?

What
you wear in your heart,
will
show upon your face,
Because
memories of a true love,
can
never be replaced.

I
pray we will not leave this world
before
saying what's in our heart.
For
life is short enough we know,
to
let pride keep us apart.

I
feel these words I must say,
no
longer can I wait.
My
voice must be heard today,
"Before
It's Too Late"
