Taken For Granted
Remember all you see each day
All the things that are around you and
Keep close to all the friends you have
in the bubble that surrounds you
Simple gestures, little things
The stuff that's out of sight, most days
it flows on by without a look
in the bubble that surrounds you
Don't ever take for granted anything you have and hold
It's only through respect and love, that straw can turn to gold
You're my first though in the morning dear, up with the rising son
You're the last thing that I think about, when the moon says day is done
I never say "I love you" dear
not as much as I guess I should do
After time it is an unsaid thing
although you know I still do
A gentle kiss upon the lips as you are on your way
forgotten in the winds of time, but just enough to say
the words now left unspoken as we trundle through our life
Now, a touch, or look's "I love you for saying yes to be my wife"
Breathing, seeing, hearing things
the smell of coffee brewing
things we never think about
and vows that need renewing
There'll be a day when I wake up
And you just might not be there
If I don't treat you like I ought to now
I have to show you that I care
Don't ever take for granted anything you have and hold
It's only through respect and love, that straw can turn to gold
You're my first though in the morning dear, up with the rising son
You're the last thing that I think about, when the moon says day is done
