Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,

To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
