Lyrics"The Things I Never Got To Do"Modern Country Ballad - written by Yves Stilmant © 2025 Verse 1 I used to dream in wild colors, bright as a summer sky Thought I'd chase down every sunset, thought I'd have more time Had a list a mile long, back when my hands were strong Now it's dust on old guitars, and stories that don't belong Verse 2 I was gonna sail the ocean, build a cabin out in the pines Sing a song on every stage, love without the fear of time But life don't wait around, and plans get rearranged You blink, and all you wanted starts to slowly fade Pre-Chorus I ain't bitter, just a little worn By the weight of years I swore I'd own Chorus These are the things I never got to do The dreams I tucked away but never saw through The roads I missed, the hearts I knew The songs I wrote, but never sang for you Still I loved, still I tried And somehow I made it through But I still think about the things I never got to do Verse 3 There's a photo in a drawer of who I swore I'd be Smiling like a man unafraid to chase the free But life had different plans -- some good, some cruel And I played the cards I held, not the ones I knew Pre-Chorus A younger man might chase the stars I've learned to hold what's in my heart Chorus These are the things I never got to do The dreams I tucked away but never saw through The roads I missed, the hearts I knew The songs I wrote, but never sang for you Still I loved, still I tried And somehow I made it through But I still think about the things I never got to do Bridge Doesn't mean it wasn't worth it Every scar, every turn Even dreams left in the shadows Still have lessons to be learned Final Chorus These are the things I never got to do But the love I gave, it still rings true The roads I missed, the hearts I knew The songs I left behind still carry through And though my time is nearly through I hope someone out there hears this too And goes and lives the things I never got to do |
