Still Gives Me Strength Today—JULY 1989

[Verse 1]

We gathered after ordinary days,

Traded stories, smiles, and endless praise.

And someone always had another joke,

Someone laughed before the punchline spoke.

The world grew lighter for a little while,

As every moment carried one more smile.

And none of us were ever counting time,

We thought forever fit your life and mine.

[Chorus]

We were only sharing laughter,

Yeah, we were only passing time.

Never knew those simple moments

Would pull me through the hardest climb.

Life keeps turning all the pages,

All the seasons slowly slip away.

But all the laughs we shared together

Still give me strength today.

[Verse 2]

Our goals began to change our early plans,

Paths were calling us to different lands.

Some empty chairs were slowly left behind,

As old familiar faces crossed my mind.

They never knew how they rescued me,

Right through the darkest nights I couldn't see.

A little hope was waiting all along,

Just hidden deep inside our joyful song.

[Chorus]

We were only sharing laughter,

Yeah, we were only passing time.

Never knew those simple moments

Would pull me through the hardest climb.

Life keeps turning all the pages,

All the seasons slowly slip away.

But all the laughs we shared together

Still give me strength today.

[Bridge]

If we could see tomorrow,

Would we laugh a little longer?

Would we hold each passing moment,

Holding on a little stronger?

[Big Chorus]

We were only sharing laughter,

Yeah, we were only passing time.

Never knew those simple moments

Would pull me through the hardest climb.

Life keeps turning all the pages,

Seasons slowly drift away.

But all the laughs we shared together

Still give me strength today.

[Outro]

We were only sharing laughter,

Yeah, we were only passing time.

Never knew those simple moments

Would pull me through the hardest climb.

Though the open roads keep changing,

Seasons slowly drift away.

Every laugh we shared together...

Still gives me strength today.
