The days I have left |
LyricsThe Days I Have Left Yves Stilmant ©2025[Verse 1] I sit by the fire with a blanket and book The years in my eyes and the time that it took To build up a life, a home, and a name With laughter and love more than fortune or fame They gather around me, the kids and their own I feel every heartbeat, I'm never alone They talk and they listen, they laugh and they cry I whisper the stories I don't want to die [Chorus] These are the days I have left To give them my heart, give my best To say all the words I once kept To be more than just a silhouette These are the days, these are the days These are the days I have left [Verse 2] I'm not the same man I was in my prime But there's beauty in slowing the rush of time We sit on the porch as the daylight fades I count every smile like a song I played A touch from my wife, her hand in mine We've weathered the storms, we've tasted the wine Now I just want to leave more than a will-- I want to leave love they can carry still [Chorus] These are the days I have left To give them my heart, give my best To say all the words I once kept To be more than just a silhouette These are the days, these are the days These are the days I have left [Bridge] And if I should go with the morning sun I hope they'll remember what I've done Not perfect, not proud, but always true-- And full of love I gave to you [Outro] So I sit here and soak in each breath In these quiet, sweet days I have left |
