Arrangement Peter Adams & Eugenie Jones

lyrics

Looking back at what seems so very long
ago A body strong; a life of possibilities
Illness robbed me; put a lock on all my dreams
Now await a stranger’s gift to set me free

As the days go by
I feel my life fading
Seasons ever changing
Wishing time stood still

I don’t know how I got stuck with such a
burden Await a stranger’s compassion to rescue me
The leaves are falling down; like memories
Regret the things I’ve left undone
The life I haven’t lived

As the days go by – I feel myself fading
Watching seasons revolution
Wishing time stood still
I don’t know how I got stuck with such a
burden Now awaiting a stranger’s
compassion to rescue me

I want to run, to play, to live my life
I promise I’ll leave no stone unturned
I’ll be all I was meant to be
As the days go by – I feel my life’s fading
Hoping, praying, waiting
Wishing time stood still

I don’t know how I got stuck with such a burden
Now awaiting a stranger’s
compassion to rescue me

I want to run, to play, to live my life
I promise to leave no stone unturned
Love be loved grow and learn
I promise to be all I was meant to be

Run, play, live my life
I promise to leave no stone unturned
Love, be loved, grow and learn

I promise to be all that I can be with the
gift of life, with the gift of life
