You Don't Know What You've Got (Until It's Gone)

It's like the grains of time
Like the hourglass of sand
Watching love go by now
And just slipping through my hands

I can see you drift away
Right before my eyes
And I'm reaching out to what we had before
And writing's not in stone
Let's save what's on the line
But if you close the door, then hey

Just leave me with a little of myself
And all the feelings that we fell for
Love, but love is worth the price of holding on
'Cause you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

We've traveled down this road
We've got a long, long way to go, yeah
Don't turn your back upon me
'Til we've got something left to show

And I'm talking, and you
You can't hear a word I say
Forget the past, 'cause we still got today
A kiss can melt the heart
And turn it into fire
But if love's gone away, then hey

Just leave me with a little of myself
And all the feelings that we fell for
Love, but love is worth the price of holding on
'Cause you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

Hey, just leave me with a little of myself
And all the feelings that we fell for
Love, but love is worth the price of holding on
'Cause you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
('Til it's gone)

And I'm reaching out to what we had before
But if you close that door, then hey

Just leave me with a little of myself
And all the feelings that we fell for
Love, but love is worth the price of holding on
'Cause you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

Just leave me with a little of myself
And all the feelings that we fell for
Love, but love is worth the price of holding on
'Cause you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
('Til it's gone)
