All That Matters Under Heaven
Look out on a summer’s day
See my past in boys at play
Chasing fantasies and nothing more
It’s time to work now close that open door
What if all that matters under heaven
Lives within our memories left behind?
If yesterday came knocking like tomorrow
Would you even pay it any mind?
What if all that matters under heaven is passing time?
Look out on a winter’s day
You can almost hear tomorrow say
“Put aside your worries and inventions
Just be still and give me your attention.”
What if all that matters under heaven
Lives within the joys that our hearts find?
If happiness came knocking like your sorrow
Would you even pay it any mind?
What if all that matters under heaven is passing time?
Look out on our life today
The memories our love has made
I look ahead and at the past behind me
I let your beauty reach me and remind me.
What if all that matters under heaven
Is the love between your heart and mine?
Something old and new and something borrowed
Hidden in a promise all our lives.
Amy, all that matters under heaven is passing time…
With you
