Song by Kevin D Stroud, 2018
1st Verse:
Well The Packers were playing The Cowboys on TV.
Sunday afternoon semi finals The NFC.
Haven’t heard from you in a good long year,
when on a deep pass play my phone rang, your name appeared.
Pre Chorus 1:
As the play clock stopped at that moment,
Packer’s last time-out on field.
Took a minute, a deep breath and called you back.
You know it’s taken too long to heal.
Chorus 1:
I said, “Hey girl, how ya doing? “I hope you Dad is doing just fine”
“Are you still working there at the bookstore?” “Are you still teaching school part time?”
As for me time keeps moving on, this desert wind’s blowing way too fast.
I’m out in this open desert watching this fall season slowly pass.
Just wanna write songs about love that lasts forever.
They say age is just a number, life is one big adventure, and today is now or never!
Today is now or never!
2nd Verse:
Built a campfire in the center of our hometown field.
The wheat grows in amber waves this time of year.
As the Full Moon rises east in this clear night sky,
I think I’ll give you a call, you know I never wanna say goodbye.
Pre-Chorus 2:
So great to hear your voice in that moment as you wish upon a star.
I called just to say how much I miss your love. We’re in mid-point in life thus far!
Chorus 2:
I said, “Hey girl, how ya doing?” “I hope your Mother, she’s doing just fine.”
“I hope she’s enjoying retirement teaching kids how to read and write.”
As for me time keeps moving on, this desert wind’s blowing way too fast.
I’m out in this open desert watching this fall season slowly pass.
Just wanna write songs about love that lasts forever.
They say age is just a number, life is one big adventure, and tonight is now or never!
Tonight is now or never!
Bridge:
Say fall is her favorite time of the year.
As we set the clock back an hour over here.
Tomorrow a new day begins.
Just like love always wins, right now is now or never!
Right now is now or never! Yeah! Right now is now or never!
Outro:
Right now is now or never! Right now is now or never!
Right now is now or never! Right now is now or never!
