CAPO: 4th FRET

INTRO: (Spoken)
D                       Bm7
 Time it`s the ultimate gift

How we spend it
 G
Who we spend it with

Listening, laughing, loving, living
 A
Looking back,

 D
It`s not about who or what we`ve lost
         Bm7
But what we all gained by being together
               G
`Cause that`s when life truly comes into focus

It`s these moments that matter
                 A
That enrich our lives

 D
The stories we take with us
                             Bm7
The memories we hold on to forever

So make sure you take it in
 G
`Cause one day

All you`ll have of them
             A
Is a picture

Sunset setting on a Lake County lake

Still hangs in a frame beside the fron door

Crazy to think he ain`t here no more


CHORUS:
 D                                   Bm7
One day we`re barefoot, young, and alive

Next we`re a story in a three by five

Somenody`s sure glad to have
