Looking back I wish that I'd been told
That time is rolling like a picture show
Are you gonna make your name before the credits roll?
I realize these days are fleeting fast
But everything reminds me of my past
I'll never know the way to go if I keep looking back
As moments pass us by nobody would deny
That this won't last for long
In the blink of an eye it will be gone, gone forever
Oh we can't afford to miss
Throwing away a chance at this would be wrong
This won't last for long
Tell me what it is I need to do
Throw my love away and join the fools?
But I know that time is on my side when I'm with you
Rising from the crowd a choir begins to sound
Gone before her time she's beautiful you know
Who's to blame?
It's such a shame you had to let her go
But here she comes again knocking at your door
