Sometimes

Sometimes I feel like I'm flying,

High above the world,

No cares or troubles,

Just pure bliss.

Chorus:

But sometimes, I come back down to earth,

And I realize how fragile life is,

How easily it can all slip away.

So I hold on tight to what I have,

And I cherish every moment,

Because I know that one day,

It will all be gone.

Verse 2:

Sometimes I get so caught up in the day-to-day,

That I forget what's really important,

The people I love,

The moments that matter most.

Chorus:

But sometimes, I come back down to earth,

And I realize how fragile life is,

How easily it can all slip away.

So I hold on tight to what I have,

And I cherish every moment,

Because I know that one day,

It will all be gone.

Bridge:

Life is a precious gift,

A treasure to be held close,

So don't take it for granted,

Don't waste a single second.

Chorus:

But sometimes, I come back down to earth,

And I realize how fragile life is,

How easily it can all slip away.

So I hold on tight to what I have,

And I cherish every moment,

Because I know that one day,

It will all be gone.
