I used to drink a lot in those days you see
|
Ya, that's the way the wind blows
|
These days the only bar I ever see
|
Has got lettuce and tomatoes
|
|
I get pumped up in the back of my mind
|
Start thinking those days were the best of times
|
But I never look forward to looking back
|
Now I see a little daylight coming through the cracks
|
|
Don't you know we're living in stolen moments
|
You steal enough it feels like we're stopping time
|
These days are gold we're living in stolen moments
|
Just grab a hold
|
|
Well some guy told you that you couldn't dance
|
And you been carrying that forever
|
I'm the kinda fella needs a, a second chance
|
C'mon baby let's boo-ga-loo together
|
|
I see you over there just clinging to the wall
|
Cause they told you like ivy, you were born to crawl
|
But you kept looking up, girl, and I know why
|
Cause you knew some day you were gonna touch the sky
|
|
Baby, you know we're living in stolen moments
|
You steal enough it feels like we're stopping time
|
These days are gold we're living in stolen moments
|
Just grab a hold and feel your way
|
These days are yours and mine
|
|
Well, I couldn't dream this life I'm livin'
|
Somehow we just survived and every waste of time forgiven
|
|
Now I'm out in the backyard leaning on a tree
|
And I have no way of knowing
|
Can't lean too hard that's my philosophy
|
Man that tree is growing
|
|
Maybe I'll never grow up to be straight and tall
|
But you can lean on me, baby, I won't fall
|
Maybe in the deal I can learn to bend
|
Learn to listen like that tree, baby
|
Like a good friend
|
|
Well don't you know we're living in stolen moments
|
You steal enough it feels like we're stopping time
|
These days are gold we're living in stolen moments
|
Just grab hold and feel these days are yours and mine
|
|
Don't ya know we're living in stolen moments
|
You steal enough it feels like we're stopping time
|
These days are gold we're living in stolen moments
|
Just grab hold and feel your way
|
These days are yours and mine
