LYRIC

I DIDN’T HAVE THE TIME- Country Yossi

I didn’t have the time
To learn Daf Yomi every day
Just didn’t have the time
To go to Shul 3 times a day
Heaven knows I tried
But something always came my way
I know it was a crime
But the fault- it wasn’t mine
I just didn’t have the time.

I didn’t have the time
To help my children learn and play
Just didn’t have the time
My business took me far away
Now I know I was blind
But money always ruled the day
I know it was a crime
But the fault- it wasn’t mine
I just didn’t have the time.

CHORUS:
Ve’al tomar licheshe’efneh eshneh
Shemuh lo tipaneh.

Now I have the time
But no one comes to talk to me
Yes I have so much time
Here in this facility
I wait here for their calls
But, my children have no time for me
I want to make amends
But the sad truth is my friends
…That I’ve just run out of time!

So try to find the time
And spend it with your family
Help them learn and play
And give them treasured memories
And when your time has come
As it will so suddenly
You’ll look back at life with pride
With your children at your side
And thank G-d-
For giving you the time!

CHORUS:
Ve’al tomar licheshe’efneh eshneh
Shemuh lo tipaneh.
