A Good Time |
| Time was once just a clock to me |
| And life was just a book, a biography |
| Success was something you just had to be |
| And I would spend myself unknowingly |
| And you know that I could have me a million more friends |
| And all I’d have to lose is my point of view |
| But I had no idea what a good time would cost |
| Till last night when I sat and talked with you |
| An apple will spoil if it’s been abused |
| A candle disappears when it has been used |
| A rainbow may follow up a hurricane |
| And I can’t leave forever on a train |
| But you know that I’d survive if I never spoke again |
| And all I’d have to lose is my vanity |
| But I had no idea what a good time would cost |
| Till last night when you sat and talked with me |
| You can smile for the lack of something else to do |
| And no one will laugh and point at you |
| If your tears didn’t always make me feel so bad |
| Would you still cry every time that you felt sad? |
| I thought I’d heard and seen enough to get along |
| Till you said something neither of us knew |
| And I had no idea what a good time would cost |
| Till last night when I sat and talked with you |
