Nine Words Songtext

now that i have your attention i'd like to take a moment
to talk about something serious and close to my heart
it's taken me a while to realize that happiness hinges on a few simple things
things that are self-evident in day to day life
and once the music fades away and the show is over
after we play our last song and call it quits
when it's all been said and done
i hope there are nine words that i could impart to you
that you'd live by and remember for the rest of your life
nine words that could change your life and everyone's around you
