While We Have time
By Aida Licari
While we have time let’s make our lives worth while
Through all the tears keep up that winning smile
God gave us faith, hope and love to follow through all the years
Where there’s love it goes on forever
When we have hope then there will be no despair
And with our faith knowing someone will care
Let’s build a life of joy and peace and loving memories
The years slip by give it a try, while we have time
