Something to Write In Stone

Sure as the oak tree gives in to the vine
Rain gives in to the sweet sunshine
We can’t turn back those hands of time
So, whatever we’ve got
A little or a lot
Let’s spend it like our last red dime

And if today is all we get my love
And our tomorrows are all used up
Before heaven calls us home
And these old bones have turned to dust
Let’s give them something to write in stone
Something before we go
Something to write in stone about us

Sure as a sidewalk crack grows a little green weed
Babies love Mamma’s, flowers love bees
We all may have a little tendency
To waste our days
Throwin‘ ‘em away
But hey, not you and me

And if today is all we get my love
And our tomorrows are all used up
Before heaven calls us home
And these old bones have turned to dust
Let’s give them something to write in stone
Something before we go
Something to write in stone

If today is all we get my love
And our tomorrows are all used up
Before heaven calls us home
And these old bones have turned to dust
Let’s give them something to write in stone
Something before we go
Something to write in stone about us
