    No Wasted Days

    No Wasted Days – original single with a calm and reflective mood remembering her father and reminding us to make the most of each day. In the video, you’ll see a few scenes with a beautiful lady at the piano and Evie and her brother and sisters all around. You then get a peek of Evie’s late father through the dancing children. This was a video from a visit with good friends, The Warrens. Julia Warren wrote the music and lyrics for No Wasted Days with Evie in mind to record it. On Evie’s parents’ 20th anniversary it was the night of the quarter-finals for America’s Got Talent. Evie’s dad was in the hospital in Arizona and Evie and her mom were in California. Evie’s dad called Julia’s husband, Chris Warren, to bring Evie’s mom an anniversary gift since they lived in California. It was the last gift she would get from her sweet husband in this life. Evie and her mom made it home before he passed away but by that time he was already unresponsive.  The Warrens have supported and loved Evie and her family through good times and heartbreaking times. Evie loved recording this song from Julia’s heart and hopes you will let it fill you with love and gratitude for the good people in your lives.

    No Wasted Days

    Throwing rocks in the ocean

    Stepping on foam

    It’s getting cold now

    Almost time to go home

    The sun’s dipping lower

    In the violet sky

    Your head on my shoulder

    Now baby, don’t cry

     

    ‘Cause I will walk by your side for as long as you’ll let me

    Just swear when it’s all said and done

    That you won’t forget me

     

    No wasted days

    Waves drifting away

    Tides up and down

    Winds blowing ’round

    No wasted days

    There are so many ways

    We lose them, it’s true,

    Like sand slipping through

    No day is wasted

    When I’m with you

     

    Some salty expression

    Slips right off the tongue

    You know what they say now

    Youth is wasted on the young

    With each day that passes

    We’re a little bit changed

    Some will grow up and some will grow old

    Now isn’t that strange

     

    And I will walk by your side for as long as you’ll let me

    Just swear when it’s all said and done

    That you won’t forget me

     

    No wasted days

    Waves drifting away

    Tides up and down

    Wind blowing ’round

    No wasted days

    There are so many ways

    We lose them, it’s true,

    Like sand slipping through

    No day is wasted

    When I’m with you

    Caught up in twilight

    The darkness is calling

    But something tells me,

    Don’t wait ’till morning

     

    No wasted days

    Waves drifting away

    Tides up and down

    Wind blowing ’round

    No wasted days

    There are so many ways

    We lose them, it’s true,

    Like sand slipping through

    No day is wasted

    When I’m with you

     

    Throwing rocks in the ocean

    Stepping on foam

    It’s getting cold now

    Almost time to go home
