We wake up every morning,
|
In the early eyes of dawn
|
roll on out of bed, kiss,
|
And put the coffee on.
|
By 9 or 10 I feel as though,
|
I¡¯ve worked a day or two
|
I close my eyes and dream about,
|
Spending time with you
|
Everyday I trade the simple things
|
for all their weight in gold
|
But they always leave me longing for
|
something more that I can hold
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
We¡¯ve got the house,
|
we always thought we needed
|
We¡¯ve got everything the Jones¡¯ would dream of
|
We give all we¡¯ve got
|
from 9 to 9
|
and think we¡¯ve got it right
|
We got time to make a living,
|
Just no time to make a life.
|
|
If we woke up tomorrow,
|
And all of this was gone,
|
I know we¡¯d have everything
|
we need to carry on
|
More and More I¡¯m missing
|
the way things used to be
|
When all we ever had in life
|
was time for you and me
|
Still I trade the simple things for all their weight in gold,
|
And still they leave me longing for
|
something more that I can hold.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
We¡¯ve got the house,
|
We always thought we needed
|
We¡¯ve got everything the Jones¡¯ would dream of
|
We give all we¡¯ve got
|
from 9 to 9
|
and think we¡¯ve got it right
|
We got time to make a living,
|
Just no time to make a life.
|
It seems this world¡¯s gone crazy
|
Seems we¡¯ve lost all sense of time.
|
We¡¯re all running a race
|
that has no Finnish line.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
We¡¯ve got the house,
|
We always thought we needed
|
We¡¯ve got everything the Jones¡¯ would dream of
|
We give all we¡¯ve got
|
from 9 to 9
|
and think we¡¯ve got it right
|
We got time to make a living,
|
Just no time to make a life.
|
|
Yah, time to make a living,
|
Just no time to make a life.
|
It¡¯s about time.
|
Time to make a life.
|
It¡¯s about you and me.
