Every Second Lyrics by Matthew West

Happy

2003

[Verse 1]
I don't know what I would do without you
But I don't wanna think about that now
I can't imagine how I lived without you
Oh, but I don't have to think about that now
'Cause you're here, and I'm right here with you
And the world as I see it is suddenly changing

[Chorus]
I don't wanna let this moment fade away
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
I just wanna fall in love along the way
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence

[Verse 2]
I don't like the way I was before you
But I don't wanna think about that now
So, here I lay my yesterday before you
Oh, and I don't have to think about that now
'Cause you're here, and I'm right here with you
And the world as I see it is suddenly changing

[Chorus]
I don't wanna let this moment fade away
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
I just wanna fall in love along the way
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
Yeah

[Bridge]
Oh, now every second matters
Now every second counts
And every day is one more day, Lord, that I can't live without
Without you

[Chorus]
Oh, I just wanna fall in love along the way
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
No, I don't wanna let this moment fade away
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
I just wanna fall in love along the way
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
Yeah

[Outro]
Now every second matters
Now every second matters
Now every second counts

[Outro 2]
I just wanna stay
Where you are
I just wanna live
Where you are
And I don't want to leave
Where you are
