While He's Still Around

While he's still around

I'm gonna take him out to fish

So we can catch up on those stories

That we ain't got to yet

And while he's still around

I'm gonna make a couple of notes

About how's love my mother

Since all those years ago

Cause you never know when the phone is gonna ring

Sayin' heaven had it out to make you wings

And all those things that you were gonna do

Are just tear drops rainin' on a church pew

So I'm gonna try to say before I gotta pray it

Hopin' that he's lookin' down

And tell him that I love him

While he's still around

While he's still around

We're gonna fix up that old car

So one day when it's all mine

He'll be there every time it starts

And while he's still around

I want to meet the one

Watch him try and hold them tears back

When I see him holdin' my son

Cause you never know when the phone is gonna ring

Sayin' heaven had it out to make you wings

And all those things that you were gonna do

Are just tear drops rainin' on a church pew

So I'm gonna try to say before I gotta pray it

Hopin' that he's lookin' down

And tell him that I love him

While he's still around

I'm gonna try and catch a game with him

Take a road trip, get on out of state with him

Thank every memory I can make with him

Live it up before it's too late with him

You never know when the phone is gonna ring

Sayin' heaven had it out to make you wings

And all those things that you were gonna do

Are just tear drops rainin' on a church pew

So I'm gonna try to say before I gotta pray it

Hopin' that he's lookin' down

And tell him that I love him

While he's still around
