Story Behind The Song

This song is dedicated to and inspired by my dear friend Carole Singer Katz, who lost her battle with ovarian cancer after fighting that war for about 4 years. I know that the message in this song would have come from her heart. May she rest in peace.

Song Description

Story of a woman fighting cancer, trying to leave the legacy behind of optimism and hope, telling those she loves to live life to its fullest.

Lyrics

LET?S NEVER MISS A MOMENT

I SERVED (I HAD) BREAKFAST YESTERDAY AT CAROL?S CAFÉ, AND WATCHED THE PEOPLE COMING IN
A YOUNG WOMAN CAUGHT MY EYE, AS SHE RAN TO TABLE 5, STARTED HUGGING ALL HER FRIENDS
THEN SHE TOOK OFF HER CAP, SHOWED HER HAIR GROWING BACK, AND THEY ALL CHEERED A LOUD ?YES?
THEY GAVE HER A BOUQUET, AND I HEARD HER SAY, SOMETHING I?LL NEVER FORGET

CHORUS:
LET?S NEVER MISS A MOMENT,
KEEP OUR EYES WIDE OPEN,
LOOK, THERE GOES A BUTTERFLY
TELL THOSE WE LOVE ?WE LOVE THEM?, ALWAYS COUNT OUR BLESSINGS, WISH ON EVERY STAR IN THE SKY
BECAUSE WE NEVER KNOW, LET?S NEVER MISS A MOMENT

I LEFT (WORK) EARLY TODAY, DROVE HOME ON THE HIGHWAY, TO MEET MY MAN AT THE HOUSE
I SAID ?GOT MY FANCY BOOTS NOW*, CUZ WE?RE GOING OUT, I GOT SOME FUN PLANNED FOR US
THE DISHES CAN WAIT, THE BILLS CAN BE PAID WHEN THERE AIN?T NOTHING BETTER TO DO
LET?S GO DANCING ALL NIGHT, THEN WATCH THE SUNRISE, SPEND TIME - ME AND YOU

CHORUS: REPEAT
SECOND LINE: LOOK AT THOSE DAISIES GROWING WILD

BRIDGE:
ENJOY, FORGIVE, BELIEVE, DREAM?.

OR: THIS LIFE IS JUST TOO SHORT, WE GOTTA LIVE IT, THAT?S WHAT IT?S FOR
CHORUS: REPEAT
SECOND LINE: LOOK AT THAT CUTE BABY SMILE

(* OPTIONAL CHANGE: LET?S GET FANCY NOW,?.)
