I was going to do it "later",
but later never came,
before I found some selfish time,
God called out your name.

I was going to do it "later",
cause I had so much to do,
now, I know those things didn't matter
as much as spending time with you.

I was going to do it "later",
my schedule was so full,
but before I got around to you,
you felt Heaven's pull....

I was going to do it "later",
but I put it off again,
I was going to do it later,
and now, you're gone, my friend.

Never wait for later
do it then and there,
then you won't have to wonder
if someone wondered if you cared....
