We were just driving In a little old town I'd rather have you in a white coat, baby Than have you in a gown To see you at your best Well it feels like flying Maybe I'll get some rest Now that you're thriving The universe Can give you what you're worth If you just invest I can close my little eyes and be grateful that I was there On the day, that you, took flight And as for you, my dear How have the years gone by? You're right in front of me fading Wonderin' what could have been To see you at your worst Well it feels like dying Maybe I'll get some rest If I saw you were trying The universe Can give you so much worse If you don't invest Well a small part of me is still foolishly hangin' on For the day, that you, take flight
