He had the whole world in his hands
But he let the silence speak
He kept an: I love you inside
Thinking time would wait a week

But time is a fast-running horse
It never looks back when it flies
And if you don’t say what you feel
You’ll be haunted by goodbye

So say it now, don’t wait too long
Hold them close, let your heart be strong
Life is short, every moment won’t last
Tomorrow might never come to pass
If you love someone, don’t leave it unknown
Say it before the time is gone

On the porch there’s an empty chair
Echoes linger with no reply
And the heart that never spoke
Is condemned to wonder why

It ain’t weakness to open your heart
It’s the courage that sets you apart
Love won’t wait, it won’t stand in line
If you’ve got words to say
Now’s the time

So say it now, don’t wait too long
Hold them close, let your heart be strong
Life is short, every moment won’t last
Tomorrow might never come to pass
If you love someone, don’t leave it unknown
Say it before the time is gone
