If I Only Had Today

I love, love this song! This is from Hilary Weeks newest CD. It speaks to my heart and I cannot listen to it without shedding tears or just letting go and getting a real good cry out. Hilary Weeks sang this back in March while my mom and us girls completely let go and cried our eyes out in the audience. This song brings me back to that moment that we shared to gether. I feel like this CD was written for me. It connects me to my mom and I will cherish it forever.


It seems like I've watched a million sunsets
And stared at a thousand full moons
Sometimes it feels like I've been here forever
And sometimes it all feels brand new

I could never count the heartbeats
From the day I was born until now
but not a single one goes unnoticed
By Him who breathes life in me somehow

But if there were no tomorrows
if I knew that I would not stay
I know how I'd spend every moment
If I only had today

Chorus
I'd hold you and listen
And I'd let the dishes sit in the sink
I'd tell you I loved you over and over
And for once I'd just let the phone ring
Then I'd remind you of forever
And how our love would never change
If I only had today

I'd wake up before the sun did
And I'd watch as you quietly sleep
I'd pray for time to move slowly
Knowing the time won't keep
All the gift that Heaven has given
Every blessing that's come my way
Wouldn't mean anything without you
so if I only had today

I'd hold you and listen
I'd memorize every detail of your face
I'd tell you I loved you over and over
I wouldn't let excuses get in the way
Then I'd remind you of forever
And how our love would never change
If I only had today

There's no time like the present
Life doesn't come with any guarantees
The sun will set and time won't wait

So while I have today

I'd hold you and listen
I'll let the dishes it in the sink
I'll tell you I love you over and over
For once I'll just let the phone ring
And I'll remind you of forever
And how our love would never change
Because I have today
