THE LOVE I LEAVE BEHIND Allan Caswell & Drew McAlister The worth of the man isn’t measured in minutes, it’s a journey that’s measured in years And it doesn’t matter where you begin, as long as it brings you here You learn more from getting it wrong than you ever do getting it right And you tell your life story with the love you leave behind, Before my time comes I’m gonna leave some sign that I was here Won’t be what I own, a fancy home, a car, or my career If I’ve lived and loved too hard and made good use of my time I’ll make the world a better place with the love I leave behind. The worth of a man isn’t measured in things, it’s secret and silent and strong It’s in the pride you take in your name and the children who carry it on You can live on this planet for eighty-odd years but it’s only a moment in time And you tell your life story with the love you leave behind, Before my time comes I’m gonna leave some sign that I was here Won’t be what I own, a fancy home, a car, or my career If I’ve lived and loved too hard and made good use of my time I’ll make the world a better place with the love I leave behind. Before my time comes I’m gonna leave some sign that I was here Won’t be what I own, a fancy home, a car, or my career If I’ve lived and loved too hard and made good use of my time I’ll make the world a better place, I’ll make this world a better place With the love I leave behind.
