The message “We have a lifetime to share…” is a take from another Carpenters’ song, “For all we know”11. To listen: . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNrYbMJz99g
Love, look at the two of us,
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say,
And as we go from day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say “I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know
The line Let's take a lifetime to say “I knew you well" struck me. Despite everything that God has revealed to me, I am just at the cusp of knowing God - and to know God will take a lifetime, which is eternal.
