Now we take our time, so nonchalant
|
And spend our nights so bon vivant
|
We dress our days in silken robes
|
The money comes
|
The money goes
|
We know it's all a passing phase
|
|
We light our lamps for atmosphere
|
And hang our hopes on chandeliers
|
We're going wrong, we're gaining weight
|
We're sleeping long and far too late
|
And so it's time to change our ways
|
But I've loved these days
|
|
Now as we indulge in things refined
|
We hide our hearts from harder times
|
A string of pearls, a foreign car
|
Oh we can only go so far
|
On caviar and cabernet
|
|
We drown our doubts in dry champagne
|
And soothe our souls with fine cocaine
|
I don't know why I even care
|
We'll get so high and get nowhere
|
We'll have to change our jaded ways
|
But I've loved these days
|
|
So before we end and then begin
|
We'll drink a toast to how it's been
|
A few more hours to be complete
|
A few more nights on satin sheets
|
A few more times that I can say
|
I've loved these days
|
|

I've Loved These Days
