    Lyrics:
    I'm 15 for a moment
    Caught in between 10 and 20
    And I'm just dreaming
    Counting the ways to where you are
    I'm 22 for a moment
    And she feels better than ever
    And we're on fire
    Making our way back from Mars
    15 there's still time for you
    Time to buy and time to lose
    15, there's never a wish better than this
    When you only got a hundred years to live
    I'm 33 for a moment
    Still the man, but you see I'm a they
    A kid on the way, babe.
    A family on my mind

    I was 25 when this song came out and I thought I was invincible. Now I'm 42. Savor every moment, kids. It all passes so quickly. Don't fall into routine. Challenge yourselves. And most importantly, don't be afraid to love.

    I was 45 when this came out. Little did I know the chilling accuracy of these words, "I'm 45 for a moment, the sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis." My crisis was breast cancer. I'm 63 for a moment and looking back with gratitude on these last 17 breast-cancer-free years. Each day, each breath is a gift.

      God has plans for everyone. My mom was cancer free around the same age as yours but had a cancer recurrence around May last year. The doctor said that she had at least six months left. She was a woman of faith and wanted to see he grandchildren grow up, which she eventually experienced. Sadly, she left us behind last year. Please have your annual medical check-ups done, as she has failed to do so during the Pandemic.

Just wanted to say that my wife and I were married at 18 and 17, and we're now 71 and 70, and still married to each other. We lost a daughter six years ago to breast cancer at age 41. Never take time for granted; it passes too quickly. Love the people in your life while you can. I would also add that our faith in Jesus has carried us through many storms of life. Blessings to you all.

      God bless your marriage and my condolences to your family on the loss of your daughter. My daughter carried your first child for a full nine months, only to have my sweet granddaughter's heart stop just before she could be delivered. Now 25 months later, the pain remains, but we ask each day for our Heavenly Father to keep us strong as we honor our granddaughter's memory each day. My daughter has since had a son, God bless him, and she is pregnant again, but memories are hard to erase. Each day of the pregnancy we put our hope and faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Your foundation is solid with your faith in Jesus and I wish God's blessings to you both.

    If you can somehow make it through the song without crying, reading the comments will start the tears flowing. With every passing year, this song becomes richer, and deeper in meaning. I can't believe I'll be 60 next year. I lost my father last year, man that was hard. So many good people gone over the past twenty years. But at the same time, I'm blessed with two beautiful boys and maybe I'll have grandchildren in a few years...still so much to look forward to. Not really sure how many more 'moments' I'll get. I'll be happy with 40 more healthy ones. Time to meet my grandkids, time to deepen my friendships, time to accomplish a few more of my writing goals. And maybe time for Paris...somehow never found the time to go there.

    Counting the ways to where you are
    I'm 22 for a moment
    And she feels better than ever
    And we're on fire
    Making our way back from Mars
    15, there's still time for you
    Time to buy and time to lose
    15, there's never a wish better than this
    When you've only got a hundred years to live
    I'm 33 for a moment
    I'm still the man, but you see I'm a "they"
    A kid on the way, babe
    A family on my mind
    I'm 45 for a moment
    The sea is high
    And I'm heading into a crisis
    Chasing the years of my life
    15, there's still time for you
    Time to buy and time to lose yourself within a morning star
    15, I'm alright with you
    15, there's never a wish better than this
    When you've only got a hundred years to live
    Half time goes by, suddenly you're wise
    Another blink of an eye, 67 is gone
    The sun is getting high
    We're moving on
    I'm 99 for a moment
    And dying for just another moment
    And I'm just dreaming
    Counting the ways to where you are
    15, there's still time for you
    22, I feel her too
    33, you're on your way
    Every day's a new day
    Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh
    15, there's still time for you
    Time to buy and time to choose

    Heard it in a store two days, and listened to it about 50 times since then. Lots of crying and thoughts of being 15, when my mom, dad, and grandma were still alive. I heard it On April 27th, which happened to be the day Mom went to Heaven 34 years ago, Now at 71, I still miss her like crazy. She only got to be a grandma for one year, but knew we were expecting our second child when the Lord called her. And we named our third child, our daughter after my Grandma and Mom, the two kindest, sweetest, and strongest ladies God ever made. I will continue playing this and cry each time. Young people, don't waste a minute, as this old timer wasted more than I care to remember. Enjoy each day the Good Lord gives you.

      @heatherpierce9123 just four years before your son’s birthday I had a son, Ryan born 7.20.2000 about 3 weeks early, his lungs not fully developed. Ryan knew my voice as he seemed to be very active every time I was around his mother. While he laid in ICU, I put my smallest finger in his little hand as he naturally grasped it, I told him I loved him. He was laying on his belly, turned his head and looked at me with his beautiful dark eyes. about 30 hours later, I decided to stay with his mother in her room. Before we even got to sleep, they called us and no parent should ever have to see someone doing CPR on an infant. They tried. They let us hold him for about 45 minutes before letting him go to holding room before the morgue picked him up for a later funeral. Yes July 20 has a significant meaning as my grandfather passed on that day to In 1986. Some may get 100 years some maybe just a few hours and none of us know what tomorrow holds and life can sure have unfair consequences, however I have the faith that I will see all that have passed before me.

    LYRICS
    I'm 15 for a moment
    Caught in between ten and 20
    And I'm just dreaming
    Counting the ways to where you are
    I'm 22 for a moment
    And she feels better than ever
    And we're on fire
    Making our way back from Mars
    15, there's still time for you
    Time to buy and time to lose
    15
    There's never a wish better than this
    When you've only got a hundred years to live
    I'm 33 for a moment
    I'm still the man, but you see I'm a "they"
    A kid on the way, babe
    A family on my mind
    I'm 45 for a moment
    The sea is high
    And I'm heading into a crisis
    Chasing the years of my life
    15, there's still time for you
    Time to buy and time to lose yourself within a morning star
    15, I'm alright with you
    15
    There's never a wish better than this
    When you've only got a hundred years to live
    Half time goes by, suddenly you're wise
    Another blink of an eye, 67 is gone
    The sun is getting high
    We're moving on
    I'm 99 for a moment
    And dying for just another moment
    And I'm just dreaming
    Counting the ways to where you are
    15, there's still time for you
    22, I feel her too
    33, you're on your way
    Every day's a new day
    Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo
    Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo
    Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
    15, there's still time for you
    Time to buy and time to choose, hey, 15
    There's never a wish better than this
    When you've only got a hundred years to live

It was hard to remain still, to say the least. I'm grateful for everything I still have, including the time I have now with her. Don't let the years slip past you. I 🤍 you mom, and I'll see you soon.

    I turned 70 this year and I still hope to meet the love if my life because I don’t think I have yet. I don’t feel young - but I also don’t know why I’m supposed to feel old. I’m not waiting though, doing insane travelling on my own. I don’t want more regrets. I don’t wait for companions or approval. Within my modest means I’m living a big life. I’m blessed.

      Jesus loves you and wants you to follow Him ❤ He is the way, the truth, and the life. I was an atheist for years until I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that profoundly changed my life. The gift of salvation and eternal life is available to all who put their trust in Jesus. Seek Him with a genuine and humble heart and He will reveal His existence to you.

    I’m really 45 now…for a moment…my daughter is 13….I really am chasing the years of my life….it goes way too fast. I still feel 22. That was one of my most amazing years ever. Got married to the love of my life at 22…lived in Colorado and it was amazing. Insane that was more than half my life ago. Remember Every day is the best day of your life- you blink, and half your life is over….don’t forget that ❤.

    I'm 44 and my father just died on September 19, 2023 at 66. Stage 4 cancer. Please, don't give up. My father lived a rough life as a younger man. But he fixed it as he got older. YOU CAN TOO. The living world is NEVER too late. Whether you have 15 or 100 years to live, you can do it. You can turn it all around. You can have everything you want, everything you need. So please, while you're alive, NEVER believe it's too late. Start NOW. RIP Dad, I love you forever. Until Valhalla.

    Wow, what a beautiful song that makes you think about our limited lifespans! I am 60 now 🤓 and can attest that life can slip away with little notice. Make the best with the time that God has given you. 🙏🏼

    This song makes me cry every time thinking how fast time flies how quickly life passes us by and current moments becomes distant memories. Things change people change and we try to hold onto time but is slips out of our hands like sand in the wind😢

    Heard the words "... or we can find hospice for you" and thought of this song, as I've loved it for years. Savor every little bite of life you get.
