The People That God Gives You
by The Bowling Family

Album: Love The People


I got the call this morning
I can't believe he's gone
Thought he'd be here forever
But one more time, time proved me wrong

It was just a week ago
Thought I should call and say Hello
Now I'm reminded once again
Life's a vapor in the wind

Love the people that God gives you
They're a gift that Heaven sent
Live and laugh and make some memories
Treasure every moment spent
Cause none of us are here forever
That's a proven fact
Love the people that God gives you
Cause one day he'll want them back

Each day the mirror tells the story
I wonder where the time has gone
Children laughing round the table
Now have children of their own
There may be things you need to say
So while today is still today
You have the chance to hold them close
One more chance to let them know

Love the people that God gives you
They're a gift that Heaven sent
Live and laugh and make some memories
Treasure every moment spent
Cause none of us are here forever
That's a proven fact
Love the people that God gives you
Cause one day he'll want them back

Oh the list keeps getting longer
Friends and family that i miss
But when I think of what matters most
It all comes down to this

None of us are here forever
That's a proven fact
Just love the people that God gives you
Cause one day, he'll want em back
Love the people that God gives you
Cause one day he'll want 'em back.
