Sitting by the bed side, held his hand and kissed his face
Then he closed his eyes and I watched him slip away
Seems like only yesterday he was young as I am now
But soon now will be the past, yeah, time is turning fast

I wanna live, I wanna love 
Like one more day is never too much and never enough
I wanna drink in every minute that I can
'Cause life is a vapor, fire and paper
Gonna make the most of it before it's gone

When I lay my head down at the end of another day
Did I keep it all to myself or did I give my love away?
Did I hold who should've been held so they remember just how that felt?
Did I say what should be said? Will I wake with no regret?

I wanna live, I wanna love 
Like one more day is never too much and never enough
I wanna drink in every minute that I can
'Cause life is a vapor, fire and paper
Gonna make the most of it before it's gone

There was a Man who walked the land centuries ago
He brought water to the thirsty heart, food to the hungry soul
He was here only 33 years but His life changed the world
And He gave up all He had, I wanna leave a legacy like that

I wanna live, I wanna love 
Like one more day is never too much and never enough
I wanna drink in every minute that I can
'Cause life is a vapor, fire and paper
Life is a vapor, fire and paper
Life is a vapor, fire and paper

Life is a vapor, fire and paper
Life is a vapor, fire and paper
Life is a vapor, fire and paper
Gonna make the most of it before it's gone
