The sun comes up steaming in the eastern skies and settles back down in the west where I live my life and I find how fast time flies.
But if I could have just a moment, one moment to choose
The way that I’d spend it and the things that I’d do…I’d spend it with you.
CHORUS
I can’t keep up with all this (even if I try)
So I’ll just drift, blow you a kiss so long and goodbye
VERSE 2
There’s some days I wake up and I wonder how it’d be if I had lots of money
Nice car maybe, a home in the hills and if it’s really me
Still I have to ask myself who’s got the better gig in life – I guess we choose
The one who’s afraid to lose it all or those of us who’ve got nothing to lose.
Cause I don’t really want to live my life until my dying day
Struggling to get the next dollar, the next thing anyway
It’s not worth my time
CHORUS
I can’t keep up with all this (even if I try)
So I’ll just drift, blow you a kiss so long and goodbye
(Harmonica Solo)
VERSE 3
Every now and then I start to wonder about the meaning
Of it all and I lose heart and start to get the feeling that things won’t turn out right
But then I stop to think about the way everything turns and works
And the people that I’ve love, lost and hurt
And I know it’ll be alright
Life’s too short not to realize what you’ve got
And it’s too long to linger on the things that you’ve lost
Love everybody and let ‘em love
CHORUS
I can’t keep up with all this (even if I try)
So I’ll just drift, blow you a kiss so long and goodbye
Stay right here and let me feel you are mine
Sit right here and let me feel that I am yours
