October

It's in smiles
 A lover's eyes
 It's in joy when it needs no disguise
 It's in fairy tales and lullabies
 And stories that hold true
 It's in hugs
 Apple pies
 It's in love that grows old and never dies
 These things make me glad to be alive
 We'll never be able
 To treasure life enough
 When death comes
 My heart is overcome
 We'll never be able
 To treasure life enough
 But when death comes
 I start looking up
 Little legs
 That sit upon a shoulder
 It's in blonde curls that won't be there when she's older
 It's in raising up what was raised in us
 Spending Sunday in a pew
 It's in love
 Love overcomes it all
 It's in memories of back when we were small
 Falling leaves and clear blue skies
 And all the things we've made it through
 We'll never be able
 To treasure life enough
 When death comes
 My heart is overcome
 When death comes
 It hurts
 And I'm not saying it's good to die
 When death comes
 It feels so undeserved
 And I'm not saying it's wrong to cry
 Got to speak
 Speak the truth
 This world could use a lot less strife
 Got to say
 Say this too
 There's a meaning to this movie screen life
 Though I'll never be able
 To treasure life enough
 But when death comes
 I try to find a life that will last
 Life is going so fast
 Life is going so fast
 Dear heart
 Stay sober
 It is only October
 Octobers end, and tired hearts mend
