Sitting On the Edge - Beverley Knight

Last time I talked to you, you were lying on a bed

Memories of our life ran like a movie in my head.

I said, I’ll be back on the weekend, as I smiled and closed the door

Wish I knew that we would say no more

Time slips away so fast, present becomes the past

No matter what we try to claim, some things ain’t built to last

Lord what I wouldn’t do

For one more day with you…

Nobody knows the time is nigh

Don’t let living pass you by

Bathe in the sunshine before the long night

We’re all sitting on the Edge of Life

«While you’re breathing, get learning.

Education is your key»

There wasn’t a day that passed when you didn’t say that to me

Now I, wonder what you’d be thinking if you could see me now

Wish I knew for sure that I made you proud

Time slips away so fast, present becomes the past

No matter what we try to claim, some things ain’t build to last

Lord what I wouldn’t do

For one more day with you…

Nobody knows the time is nigh

Don’t let living pass you by

Bathe in the sunshine before the long night

We’re all sitting on the Edge of Life

Oh we can’t say that tomorrow is promised

Savour the moments of joy in every day

Tell someone you love them, ain’t no shame in being honest

Lesson I learned the hardest way

Nobody knows the time is nigh

Don’t let living pass you by

Bathe in the sunshine before the long night

We’re all sitting on the Edge of Life

Nobody knows the time is nigh

Don’t let living pass you by

When someone loves you, show them right

We’re all sitting on the Edge of Life
