From the recording Time (It’s All We Got) — Piano & Cello Version
A deeply intimate reimagining of “Time (It’s All We Got),” built around piano, cello, and voice. Stripped of the full-band production, this version brings the lyric and its message into sharper focus: time is the one thing none of us can replace.
It isn’t about getting older. It’s about getting it—and choosing to be fully present for the life and people we have right now.
Lyrics
Countin' the seconds of every hour
Knowin' this life could be gone tomorrow
Basin' decisions on fear and sorrow
Why would we choose that?
I've been to a million different places
I've met a lot of people, seen a lot of faces
Lost a lot of time, forgot a lot of names
And then I got sober
For the record, time is all we got
I suggest you use it with the people that you love
For the record, we ain't here that long
I suggest you live your life, you learn from right and wrong
And I know…. if you know, …….for the record
It's the concept of time and it's all we got
And we're so grateful for the moments that we share
And it's all we got….And we're so grateful… for the moments that we share
crescendo
For the record, time is all we got
I suggest you use it with the people that you love
For the record, we ain't here that long
I suggest you live your life, you learn from right and wrong
And I know… if you know…..for the record
It's the concept of time and it's all we got (ooh ooh)
And we're so grateful for the moments that we share, (ooh ooh)
And it's all we got…(ooh ooh), And we're so grateful
It's the concept of time and it's all we got. Oh oh oh oh oh
And we're so grateful for the moments ….that we share
And it's all we got……And we're so grateful
