All The Days Lyrics
When I am old
I'll think of all the hearts I broke
To be here with you
When I am grey
And somewhat vague and too confused
I know I'll still remember you the very most
And all the days will wrap around our fingers
They'll hang around our hearts like bits of stars
And all the tears we've counted
All the memories we thought would linger
Disappear
They disappear
When I lay down
And close my eyes to see if Jesus died for me
And that there is a God
I'll wait for you
Beyond the lights where darkness fights
To keep the sun from coming up
And all the days will wrap around our fingers
They'll hang around our hearts like bits of stars
And all the tears we've counted
All the memories we thought would linger
Disappear
They disappear
Can't you see
That all of me
Is inside of you
Though I'm gone
I'm like a song
That sings and sighs and coos
When I am old
I'll sift through all the words I spoke
And picture all our happy times
I'll kiss your face
And think about the life we made
With all our might
With all that love
And all the days will wrap around our fingers
They'll hang around our hearts like bits of stars
And all the tears we've counted
All the memories we thought would linger
Disappear
Oh they disappear
I'll think of all the hearts I broke
To be here with you
And somewhat vague and too confused
I know I'll still remember you the very most
They'll hang around our hearts like bits of stars
And all the tears we've counted
All the memories we thought would linger
Disappear
They disappear
And close my eyes to see if Jesus died for me
And that there is a God
Beyond the lights where darkness fights
To keep the sun from coming up
They'll hang around our hearts like bits of stars
And all the tears we've counted
All the memories we thought would linger
Disappear
They disappear
That all of me
Is inside of you
I'm like a song
That sings and sighs and coos
I'll sift through all the words I spoke
And picture all our happy times
And think about the life we made
With all our might
With all that love
They'll hang around our hearts like bits of stars
And all the tears we've counted
All the memories we thought would linger
Disappear
Oh they disappear

Wow, this is a tremendously meaningful song. Isn't The phrase "When I am grey And somewhat vague and too confused I know I'll still remember you" really everyone's goal - not to forgot the ones they love? And, of course, not to be forgotten?
This song speaks with an honesty and tenderness that is absolutely extraordinary. To me when she refers to "memories we thought would linger Disappear" she is talking about regret, and how when we grow old we get to a point where we forget about our regrets and focus on the kindnesses around us. Suddenly regret has no power over you, which is immensely liberating, and time itself has a new meaning..."all the days will wrap around our fingers"...
Even though I've never been much of a Jann Arden fan, it's such a magical sentiment from an entertainer who has excelled at hitting all the right notes in more ways than one. I really hope this song catches on because it is remarkably moving.
