A Song For A Sunday.

Don’t Take The Good Times For Granted.

Lyrics: Singer-songwriter Shunie Crampsey.
Vocals: Country singer and local radio presenter David James joined by Irish singer, Daniel Francis Noel O’Donnell MBE.

Don’t Take The Good Times For Granted.

I met with an old friend last evening,
And I mentioned concerns that I had,
About things that unfurled and the ways of the world,
And how sometimes it makes me feel sad.
I said life can be so complicated,
And I’m scared I might lose my way,
When a friendly hand pressed on my shoulder,
He smiled and I heard him say.
Son, don’t take the good times for granted,
For things keep on changing each day.
Make time to be with the ones that you love,
Let nothing stand in your way.
We don’t know what waits round the corner,
We never know what lies ahead,
So, if just for a moment, forget all your troubles,
And count all your blessings instead.
I often dream of the future,
And of all of the things I might do,
Son, follow your heart,
Cause if you never dream,
Your dreams they can never come true.
Should you choose a road that’s less travelled,
Just know I’ll be there to the end,
You’re not just a shoulder to lean on,
I thank you for being my friend.
Don’t take the good times for granted,
For things keep on changing each day,
Make time to be with the ones that you love,
Let nothing stand in your way.
We don’t know what waits round the corner,
We never know what lies ahead,
So just for a moment forget all your troubles,
And count all your blessings instead.
So, don’t take the good times for granted,
For things keep on changing each day,
Make time to be with the ones that you love,
Let nothing stand in your way.
We don’t know what waits round the corner,
We never know what lies ahead,
So just for a moment forget all your troubles,
And count all your blessings instead.
So just for a moment forget all your troubles,
And count all your blessings instead.
