“There’s Still Time” (Long Version)

“There’s Still Time” (Long Version)
Copyright by Frank DeCenso, Jr. 

Can you see all the colors on a Monarch butterfly?
Can you see the stars blinking in a darkened midnight sky?
Can you feel the breeze touch you as a hummingbird flies by?
If not - there’s still time…

Do you still enjoy the view from a high, hot air balloon?
Do you still recall the words to your favorite childhood tune?
Do you still smile back at the smiling man on the moon?
If not - there’s still time.

CHORUS
There’s still time to breathe with each new breath,
There’s still time to live what you’ve only dreamt,
There’s still time to be what you’ve never been,
There’s still time to see old things new again,
There’s time –

Have you seen all the ripples in a bubbling springtime stream?
Have you tasted all the flavors of someone’s homemade ice cream?
Have you felt the warmth upon your face of early ‘morn sunbeams?
If not - there’s still time…

Will you dare to drive down a road which you have never been?
Will you leave the past behind you and never go back again?
Will you dive in crystal waters and see the life within?
If not - there’s still time.

CHORUS
There’s still time to breathe with each new breath,
There’s still time to live what you’ve only dreamt,
There’s still time to be what you’ve never been,
There’s still time to see old things new again,
There’s still time –

[BRIDGE]
The hour's late, don't close the gate
To all of life's deep wonder;
Just spread your wings and try new things
Until you feel life's thunder...

CHORUS
There’s still time to breathe with each new breath,
There’s still time to live what you’ve only dreamt,
There’s still time to be what you’ve never been,
There’s still time to see old things new again,
If not - there’s still time.
