Keith Howard - 563 Days Lyrics

If I knew I couldn't touch you in five-hundred-sixty-three-days
I would have held a little longer
I would have stayed in the embrace
I would have memorized that moment
To replay it on my own if I had only
If I had only known

If I knew I couldn't touch you in five-hundred-sixty-three days
I would have held a little longer
I would have stayed in the embrace
I would have memorized that moment
To replay it on my own if I had only
If I had only known, five hundred-sixty-three days

When I was a child and company came to stay
The time would come for them to go their way
Us kids would laugh at the spectacle that happened
The end of our driveway, oh the things they'd say
Well they'd repeat goodbyes and say so long
Hug just once more and carry on
And finally they would start it all again
I guess they knew somethin'

If I knew I couldn't touch you in five-hundred-sixty-three days
I would have held a little longer
I would have stayed in the embrace
I would have memorized that moment
To replay it on my own if I had only
If I had only known, five-hundred-sixty-three days

When the boys were small, advice came our way
Just hug them till they start to pull away
Let them be the ones to determine
How long is the embrace, be content to wait
Oh the family circle, bedtime prayers
Kiss on your head and rub your hair
What I wouldn't give to have again
