Time was once just a clock to me |
|
And life was just a book a biography |
|
Success was something you just had to be |
|
And i would spend myself unknowingly |
|
And you know that i could have me a million more friends |
|
And all i'd have to lose is my point of view |
|
But i had no idea what a good time would cost |
|
Till last night when i sat and talked with you. |
|
An apple will spoil if it's been abused |
|
A candle disappears when its been used |
|
A rainbow may follow up a hurricane |
|
And i can't leave forever on a train |
|
And you know that i'd survive if i never spoke again |
|
And all i'd have to lose is my vanity |
|
But i had no idea what a good time would cost |
|
Till last night when you sat and talked with me. |
|
You can smile for the lack of something else to do |
|
And no one will laugh and point a finger at you |
|
If your tears didn't always make me feel so bad |
|
Would you still cry every time that you felt sad? |
|
I thought i'd heard and seen enough to get along |
|
Till you said something neither of us knew |
|
And i had no idea what a good time would cost |
|
Till last night when i sat and talked with you. |
