(With only a little more time)   Every once in a while there's someone whose life is like a comet flashin' across the sky   Men of great talent with things to tell us   And it seems like all too soon those kinds seem to die   Now Stephen Foster was one of these gifted people    He's down to earth songs turned the whole world on   But then like most people who are sent here on a mission   All too soon young Stephen was gone   A little more time a little more time oh the songs he might have wrote    Tender words and pretty notes with only a little more time   Another man I feel was sent here on a mission was John F Kennedy   A man loved and respected by I guess just about everyone   And I suppose we were all guilty of takin' him for granted   His love for humanity and the many fine things that he done   Now he wanted this to be a better world but all too soon this great man died   And as we gathered around our radios that afternoon   The whole world stopped a little while and it cried   A little more time a little more time so much to do so little done    But the victory's he might have won with only a little more time   And looking back down the pages of history   The greatest influence for good there ever was Jesus   And his spite of all the obstacles in his path   Look at the legacy of hope that you gave us   And as I look around me at those who live by his teachings   And bless the day of his birth   I can't help but feel this would be a whole lot better world   If he could have spent a little more time on this earth   A little more time a little more time   Peace on earth might really be today if only he had just had a little more time
