This day will never return

This day will never return, tomorrow it´ll be forever gone.
Have you ever thought of it before?
That this day will never return.

Take some advantage of life, before the sand of time runs out.
Look at your hair it´s getting grey,
now take some advantage of life.

Now can´t you see you´re getting old,
You´re getting older every day.
A fact so freightening but true: You´re getting older every day.

Look at all the years passing by,
They don´t even stop to say hello.
Open your eyes and see, all the years passing by.

Grab hold of the rose if you can,
The cake is just average and dull.
You know if you don´t you will regret, so grab hold of the rose if you can.

Make today imortal, fill it with memories and laughs.
Yes with events you´ll gladly remember,
Make today imortal.

You know this day will never return, tomorrow it´ll be forever gone.
Have you ever thought of it before?
This day will never return.

Not allowed

Now let me tell you a story. It´s sad but true.
I woke up one early morning, my father knocked on my door.
He said:- Son, something terrible has happened,
your mother´s dead and gone.

Up the stairs then came my sister,
teardrops were falling from her eyes.
She said:- There´s one thing a mother´s not allowed to do,
A mother is not allowed to die.

And so we went to see her, It all felt so unreal.
Me and my sister held our mother´s hand,
even then we could not understand.

My mother wrote a note just before she died.
It said:- I´m but 49 years old.

Distant as a star 

You know I love you baby, but I don´t know where you are.
I have´nt even met you. You´re as distant as a star.

If we get together it sure would be fine.
I´d treat you right and care for you up until the end of time.

The distance in the universe is still very far,
and if I´d reach planet Mars you´d still be at a star.

I´m gazing at the stars now, up in outer space,
and wonder if I ever get to see your face.

You´re as distant as a star and I have´nt met you yet.
But just you wait and see girl, my binocular is set.
