[Verse]

It's in smiles

A lover's eyes

It's in joy

When it needs no disguise

It's in fairy-tales

And lullabies

In stories that hold true

It's in hugs

Apple pies

It's in love

That grows old, but never dies

These things

Make me glad to be alive

[Chorus]

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

When death comes

I start looking up

[Verse]

Little legs

That sit upon a shoulder

It's in blonde curls that won't be there when she's older

It's raising up

What was raised in us

Spending Sunday in a pew

And it's in fall

Winter, Summer, Spring

When we're driving down the road and start to sing

The fallen leaves and clear blue sky

And all the things we've made it through

Oh

[Chorus]

I'll never be able

To treasure life enough

When death comes

My heart is overcome

Woah

And I'll never be able

To treasure life enough

When death comes

I start looking up

We'll never be able

To treasure life enough

When death comes

It's a window to my past

Though I'll never be able

To treasure life enough

When death comes

I try to find a life that will last

Life is going so fast

Mmm

Life is going so fast

Mmm

"Dear heart

Stay sober. It is only October

Octobers end and tired hearts mend."
