Lyrics Sitting On the Edge - Beverley Knight

Sitting On the Edge

Last time I talked to you, you were lying on a bed
Memories of our life ran like a movie in my head.
I said, I’ll be back on the weekend, as I smiled and closed the door
Wish I knew that we would say no more
Time slips away so fast, present becomes the past
No matter what we try to claim, some things ain’t built to last
Lord what I wouldn’t do
For one more day with you…
Nobody knows the time is nigh
Don’t let living pass you by
Bathe in the sunshine before the long night
We’re all sitting on the Edge of Life
«While you’re breathing, get learning.
Education is your key»
There wasn’t a day that passed when you didn’t say that to me
Now I, wonder what you’d be thinking if you could see me now
Wish I knew for sure that I made you proud
Time slips away so fast, present becomes the past
No matter what we try to claim, some things ain’t build to last
Lord what I wouldn’t do
For one more day with you…
Nobody knows the time is nigh
Don’t let living pass you by
Bathe in the sunshine before the long night
We’re all sitting on the Edge of Life
Oh we can’t say that tomorrow is promised
Savour the moments of joy in every day
Tell someone you love them, ain’t no shame in being honest
Lesson I learned the hardest way
Nobody knows the time is nigh
Don’t let living pass you by
Bathe in the sunshine before the long night
We’re all sitting on the Edge of Life
Nobody knows the time is nigh
Don’t let living pass you by
When someone loves you, show them right
We’re all sitting on the Edge of Life
