Time for the Sunset

(words and music by Norman G. Walker © SOCAN)

For all the beauty of this earth
For land and sea and the sky

We must give thanks for the life we live

As the days are passing by.

Chorus:
    Times can be hard with the cares of the world

    And there's many things left yet to do

    You must take time for the ones you love

    And time for the sunset too.

There's a time for birth and a time to die
The way things always have been

And there's time to stop and appreciate

All things that go between.

Chorus:

She sang on the porch to the western sky
Her sun was sinking low

She said you "You ought to take time for the sunset, child"

Then she smiled as she turned to go.

Chorus:
