[Verse 1]
If I keep my eyes on it
I will want more than I might need
To have the fingers crossed for
The break that I'm not sure may be

[Chorus 1]
It don't matter, it don't matter
It don't matter before they slip away
Just look at where I'm at today
Not bad, huh, what do you say?

[Verse 2]
If I take the chance that comes
Put life into the days before they slip away
Make sure that time's no luxury
To check off all the days before they slip away

[Chorus 2]
It don't matter, it don't matter
It don't matter before they slip away

[Bridge]
Let's surrender, it's not our fight
Let's surrender, it's not our fight
[Verse 3]
If I keep my eyes on it
I will want more than I might need
Remember when I was a child
I looked for things all the while
But look at where I'm at today
Not bad, huh?

[Chorus 2]
It don't matter, it don't matter
It don't matter before they slip away
It don't matter, it don't matter
It don't matter before they slip away
It don't matter, it don't matter
It don't matter before they slip away
It don't matter, it don't matter
It don't matter before they slip away
