My good friend wrote wonderful lyrics for me. 

Time Is Not Something To Waste
Lyrics by Paul Dempsey

(v1)
You’re out there living life
While I’m just renting space
Sadly, the rent is due
I’m old while you are young
We are in a different place
We have a different view

(v2)
You have a lot to learn
While I have learned a lot
Like all roads are not paved
Relationships can get heated
You may get burned a lot
And why memories are saved

(chorus)
In life there is little time
To make your mark
Mine is slowly fading
While yours is getting dark
Life is full of sweet and sour tastes
And time is not something to waste

(v3)
Like a scout, I’m up ahead
I’m there to help you understand
What may be your tomorrows
When you feel you’re drowning
And things don’t go as planned
I’ll help you through life’s sorrows

Instrumental part

(bridge)
Time marches on and then we’re gone
What we achieve is the mark we leave 
Most will pass but some may last

(chorus)
In life there is little time
To make your mark
Mine is slowly fading
While yours is getting dark
Life is full of sweet and sour tastes
And time is not something to waste
