While I Still Can
by Karen Peck & New River

Album: No Worries


As I sit here with my children
Holdin' them real tight
I can't believe how much they grow
Each and every night
Life can be so busy
It can get out of hand
Well, I wanna get it right
While I still can

So, I'll turn off the TV
And hang up the telephone
I'm gonna make the most of every day
Before they're up and gone
I've only got so many chances
At playing superman
I'm gonna pick 'em up and hold 'em
While I still can

See, I almost missed it
Seems I never had the time
'Til I ran across this picture
That stopped me on a dime
It seems like only yesterday
We brought the baby home
Now it seems like any day
That she'll be gone

So, I'll turn off the TV
And hang up the telephone
I'm gonna make the most of every day
Before they're up and gone
I've only got so many chances
At playing superman
I'm gonna pick 'em up and hold 'em
While I still can

When my little girl's a woman
And my little boy's a man
Will the Lord be glad He put 'em in my hands

Did I turn off the TV
And hang up the telephone
Did I make the most of every day
While they were home
Did I take all my chances
At playing superman
Did I pick 'em up and hold 'em
Lord, help me stop and hold 'em, yeah
I'm gonna pick 'em up and hold 'em
While I still can
