My Time on Earth

The 1st time I heard this song and artist was watching Maureen Reagan’s funeral on TV in 2001. I instantly knew I’d want this song played at my own.

My time on Earth
Long as it seems
Is just a moment
In the grand scheme of things

A short refrain
Of life’s endless song
Sung only once
And then we’re gone

My time on Earth
Each breath I breathe
Is one more chance to share my love
With those around me

We come and go
Like shooting stars
The truth be known,
That’s all we are

The more that I know
The more I can see
The older I grow
The more I believe
It’s not the length of the life
Or the depth of the grave
In the end we’ll be measured
By the love that we gave

So my time on Earth
On fate depends
But all that happens
In the space we’re meant to live

Depends on me
And choices I face
For better or worse
They’re mine to make

The more that I know
The more I can see
The older I grow
The more I believe
It’s not the length of the life
Or the depth of the grave
In the end we’ll be measured
By the love that we gave

So my time on Earth
Will be well spent
And when I leave this world
I’ll leave with no regrets

I’ll live and love
For all its worth
‘Till I live out
My time on Earth

‘Till I live out my time on Earth
