Only Here For A Little While

Only Here For A Little While - Billy Dean

I'm gonna hold who needs holdin'

Mend what needs mendin'

Walk what needs walkin'

Though it means an extra mile

Pray what needs prayin'

Say what needs sayin'

'Cause we're only here

For a little while

Today I stood singin'

Songs and sayin' Amen

Saying goodbye to an old friend

Who seemed so young

He spent his life workin'

Hard to chase a dollar

Putting off until tomorrow

The things he should have done

Made me start thinking

What's the hurry

Why the runnin'

I don't like what I'm becoming

Gonna change my style

Take my time

And I take it all for granted

'Cause we're only here

For a little while

Gonna hold who needs holdin'

Mend what needs mendin'

Walk what needs walkin'

Though it means an extra mile

Pray what needs prayin'

Say what needs sayin'

'Cause we're only here

For a little while

Let me love like

I'll never see tomorrow

Treat each day as though it's borrowed

Like it's precious as a child

Whoa take my hand

Let us reach out to each other

'Cause we're only here

For a little while

Gonna hold who needs holdin'

Mend what needs mendin'

Walk what needs walkin'

Though it means an extra mile

Pray what needs prayin'

Say what needs sayin'

'Cause we're only here

For a little while

Gonna hold who needs holdin'

Mend what needs mendin'

Walk what needs walkin'

Though it means an extra mile

Pray what needs prayin'

Say what needs sayin'

'Cause we're only here

For a little while
