Borrowed Time — We Had Our Time, and I’m Still in Love

I wrote this song after watching Practical Magic. I couldn't stop thinking about what it means to love someone when you know the clock is ticking — whether it's a curse, a prophecy, or just the simple truth that none of us get forever. The aunts. Sally. Gillian. Gary. The idea that love is worth it especially when you know how it ends. That's what this song is. If you've ever loved someone through the ordinary years, knowing you'd have to let them go — this is for you. 🎵 Full lyrics below I knew there was a shadow on your name A story no one wanted me to say They told me every man who loved you Would eventually walk away I could have turned I could have run I could have saved myself Before we'd begun Maybe love is not forever Maybe forever isn't why Maybe what we have between us Is worth the time So let me love you while I can Let me hold you while I'm here Let me wake beside you Through the ordinary years If loving you will cost me Every breath I have to give Then I'll spend them all beside you And call that a life worth living We argued over nothing Then laughed before the night was through We found our way through little things And made a life from me and you Some days went by like nothing Some nights we stayed awake And all the little things we shared Are the things I can't replace You never told me You were afraid I didn't want our love To live beneath a blade So I kissed you in the morning And I held you through the night I tried to live inside each moment And forget about the time So let me love you while I can Let me hold you while I'm here Let me watch our lives unfolding Through the ordinary years If loving you will cost me Every breath I have to give Then I'll spend them all beside you And call that a life worth living I watched the years go by I watched your hair turn silver I thought perhaps the story Had forgotten me But some promises remember Some endings never change And tonight I feel the darkness Calling out my name So let me love you one more night Let me hold you while I'm here Let me hear you say my name Like you've said it all these years If loving you was borrowed time Then every second was a gift I would choose you all again I would choose this life again Even knowing how it ends? Especially knowing how it ends Somewhere in another sky Maybe we'll have more time But if this is all we get I wouldn't change a thing tonight You were never afraid of loving me I was afraid of losing you You didn't lose me I know We had our time We had our life 🔔 Subscribe for more original music 📖 "You didn't lose me." / "I know." / "We had our time.
