Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
My father spoke in silence, not in words
I learned his love the way you learn from birds
Watching, waiting for a sign that never came
Two stubborn hearts too proud to say the same
[chorus]
Say it now, while there's time left to say it
While the clock still turns, don't delay it
We're only given these living years
Say it now, before it disappears
[verse]
I carry all his habits in my hands
The way I stand, the way I understand
I never told him half of what I feel
Now I'm the father learning what was real
[chorus]
Say it now, while there's time left to say it
While the clock still turns, don't delay it
We're only given these living years
Say it now, before it disappears
[bridge]
I wish I could have told you then
The words I couldn't find, I'll say again
I wish I could have told you then
This love was always there, my friend
[chorus]
Say it now, while there's time left to say it
While the clock still turns, don't delay it
We're only given these living years
Say it now, before it disappears
