Am I too busy chasing a temporary fortune 
That my priorities get lost along the road 
The seasons bring their moments
They linger for an instant
They never wait for you to pay the debts you owe 

When I leave I want to leave a memory filled with love 
The kind you don’t forget 
When I go I want to be known 
As one who lived with no regrets 

If life is like a flower
Am I doing all that’s in my power 
To leave a fragrance behind 
It’s time to count my blessings
Forget about my savings account for a while

I want them to say
What a glorious day
She had so much to gain 
But she gave it away 
And I want them to see something different in me 
And that I’m going to be free

Some glad morning when this life is over 
I’ll fly away
To a home on God’s celestial shore 
I’ll fly away
When I leave I want to leave a memory...
