I get this feeling every year

The first days of winter


Pull out that box of souvenirs


To read your old letters

In that stack of memories


Found a note you left for me


It almost feels like you're still here

I hear your voice in every word


You told me to remember


[Chorus]

Take each day and make it last


'Cause you turn around and the future is the past


Here and now is all we have

The beginning and the end mean so little


What matters most is what's in the middle


Makes me smile when I look back

To every summer


You'd forget your birthday and just laugh


And say, it's just a number

But Sunday afternoons


They meant so much to you


The simple things were golden

You found beauty in every moment


[Chorus]


The day you're born is just a start

Your last breath is a question mark


The story of your life is in the, in between


Take each day and make it last

'Cause you turn around and the future is the past


Here and now is all we have


[Chorus]

What's in the middle
