Under an old brass paperweight
Is my list of things to do today
Go to the bank and the hardware store
Put a new lock on the cellar door.

I cross them off as I get them done
But when the sun is set
There's still more than a few things left
That I haven't got to yet.

Go for a walk, say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
It's time that I make time for that.

Wade the shore and cast a line
Look up a long lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start living, that's the next thing on my list.

Wouldn't change the course of fate
But cutting the grass just had to wait
Cause I've got more important things
Like pushing my kid on the backyard swing.

I won't break my back for a million bucks
I can't take to my grave
So why put off for tomorrow
What I could get done today.

Like go for a walk, say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
It's time that I make time for that.

Wade the shore and cast a line
Look up a long lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start living, that's the next thing on my list.

Raise a little hell, laugh til it hurts
Put an extra five in the plate at church
Call up my folks just to chat
It's time that I make time for that.

Stay up late, then oversleep
Show her what she means to me
Catch up on all the things I've always missed
Just start living, that's the next thing on my list.

Under an old brass paperweight
My list of things to do today.



At the end of the day
It's not how many things we get done
It's the things that we did
Before we meet the setting sun.

Take some time for yourself
Start living to enjoy the day
Spend time with your loved ones
Take some time to laugh and play

Reach out to others
Bring them close to your heart
For they are the ones to greet you
When the brand new morning starts.

Money and things are important
And we need them all to exist
But the treasures of life come from the heart
Be sure to add them to your list.
