some people measure time by the sound of clock
by the movement of the hands and the constant tick tock
some people measure their lives by the money they earn
by the liquor they drink or the drugs they burn
some people measure success by the size of their house
by the cash in their pocket or the plastic they pull out
some people measure themselves by the reach of their fame
they try to win at life like they are playing a game
but i measure value in just one way
how long i get to love you every day
