Y’all remember this song, don’t you? It was sung by Billy Dean. It says exactly what I am feeling right now. Don’t put things off, do them now.
Only Here For A Little While.
Gonna hold who needs holdin’, Mend what needs mendin’, Walk what needs walkin’ though it means an extra mile, Pray what needs prayin’, Say what needs sayin’, Cause we’re only here for a little while.
Today I stood singin’ and sayin’ Amen, Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young, He spent his life workin’ hard to chase a dollar, Putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done, Made me start thinking “What’s the hurry, why the runnin’?, I don’t like what I’m becoming, gonna change my style, Take my time and I take it all for granted”, Cause we’re only here for a little while.
Gonna hold who needs holdin’, Mend what needs mendin’, Walk what needs walking’, Though it means an extra mile, Pray what needs prayin, Say what needs saying’, Cause we’re only here for a little while. ~Written by Wayland Holyfield and Richard Leigh and Recorded/Performed by Billy Dean.
It’s true for all of us. We’re all only here for a little while. Our life on this earth is short. When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to get a certain age. But now, each year that passes reminds me that our time here is so short. Life is too short to argue and fight, too short to hold grudges, too short to live with regrets and too short to not make the most of every single moment we have been gifted with.
We’re only here for a little while. Do what you need to do now for and with the people you love. Pray what needs prayin’, Say what needs sayin’. Cause we’re only here for a little while.
Sending you blessings of love and laughter from Sterrett, Alabama!
