Treasuring The Day As You Go
Treasuring Moments: Embracing Life's Waves with Mark Stephen Pelfrey
Lyrics
She said it comes in waves
Reference to life's ups and downs, coming in waves.
Some are easier than other days
Acknowledging varying difficulty levels of different days.
She's said son one day
Maternal advice, anticipating shared emotions in the future.
You'll feel the same way
Expectation that the listener will eventually experience similar feelings.
You'll wanna hold hands while you can
Desire to cherish moments, like holding hands.
And dig your feet in the sand
Emphasizing connection to nature, grounding oneself.
And really savor every moment
Encouragement to fully appreciate and be present in every moment.
You don't know it because
Not realizing the significance of moments in the present.
Memories don't let you know
Memories may not reveal the value of the current experience.
You're treasuring the day as you go
Acknowledging the importance of treasuring each day.
She said it feels so strange
Expressing the uniqueness of life's experiences.
Don't know life any other way
Being unfamiliar with any other way of living.
She said son one day
Maternal prediction of the listener's future perspective.
You'll think the same thing
Anticipation of the listener sharing a similar viewpoint one day.
You'll wanna hold hands while you can
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands and connect with nature.
And dig your feet in the sand
Emphasis on the grounding and sensory experience of life.
And really savor every moment
Encouragement to fully savor and appreciate every moment.
You don't know it because
Reiteration of the idea that present awareness is often elusive.
Memories don't let you know
Memories may not immediately reveal the importance of the present.
You're treasuring the day as you go
Reiterating the significance of treasuring each day as it comes.
I can only hope
Expressing a personal hope related to love and parenthood.
To love my little girl the way he did
Aspiring to love one's child as deeply as another person did.
I can only hope
Continued hope for the child's strength and resilience.
She'll grow up as strong as you did
Desire for the child to grow up with strength similar to someone else.
You can see it on her face
Observation of emotions displayed on the child's face.
Part of her hearts in a better place
Suggesting a part of the child's heart is in a better place, likely referring to the deceased person.
She said son one day
Anticipating the future possibility of seeing the face of a departed loved one.
I'll get to see his face
Hopeful anticipation of a reunion with the departed loved one.
And we can hold hands once again
Imagining a future scenario of holding hands once again.
And dig our feet in the sand
Grounding oneself and enjoying moments together in nature.
And really savor every moment
Reiterating the importance of fully savoring every moment.
I didn't know it but
Realization that heaven, previously distant, now feels like a desirable destination.
Heaven never seemed like home
Expressing eagerness to go to heaven nowadays.
But nowadays I can't wait to go
Highlighting the evolving perception of heaven as a comforting place.
