If It Were My Last Day
Cherishing Life's Final Moments: If It Were My Last Day by Abby Twigger
Lyrics
If it were my last day I'd put my phone away
If it were my last day, I'd prioritize being present by putting away distractions like my phone.
And if it were my last day I'd not overthink what people say
In my final moments, I wouldn't dwell on others' opinions but focus on the essence of life.
And on my last day I wouldn't need to carve out time alone
On the last day, there wouldn't be a need for solitude; instead, I'd appreciate your growth unnoticed.
Instead I'd marvel at how much you've grown while I looked the other way
I'd marvel at your development, acknowledging how you've grown, even if I missed it in the busyness of life.
If it were my last day I'd get up with the sun
In my final sunrise, I'd rise early, embracing the beauty of the day.
And if it were my last day I'd skip the list of what needs done
I'd avoid the burden of tasks and obligations, prioritizing simplicity and joy.
And on my last day I think I'd try to skip a stone instead
Choosing to enjoy simple pleasures like skipping stones, emphasizing a carefree approach.
And read you extra books before you go to bed and fall asleep
Prioritizing quality time by reading extra books before bedtime, cherishing moments with loved ones.
So come in close while I'm remembering you're only little once
Encouraging closeness, realizing the fleeting nature of childhood, and expressing love accordingly.
And let me love you like you deserve to be
A plea to love deeply and genuinely, recognizing the deserving nature of the recipient.
While I'm remembering my own mortality
Reflecting on mortality while expressing love, acknowledging the impermanence of life.
So come forgive all the love I struggled hard to give
Seeking forgiveness for the struggles in giving love, acknowledging imperfections.
And hope you'll find a peaceful way to live
Expressing hope for a peaceful and fulfilling life for the loved one in the future.
and love
Emphasizing the enduring importance of love in the final moments.
If it were my last day I'd write down the important things
If it were my last day, I'd document significant aspects of life, leaving a tangible legacy.
And on my last day send letters to my Mum and things
Expressing a desire to communicate love and sentiments to family through written letters.
And on my last day I'd not say anything but sorry
In the final moments, choosing humility and expressing apologies and love sincerely.
And I love you
Concluding with a heartfelt declaration of love for the significant person in their life.
Oh how I love you
Reiterating profound love and appreciation in the face of potential finality.
If it were my last day
If it were my last day, the emphasis would be on expressing love and gratitude.
