Dreams drift away
like leaves on the water
They roll down the river
and slip out of sight
Too many times we do
what we ought
Put off till tomorrow
what we'd really rather
do tonight
And later realize
Time passes by
People pass on
At the drop of a tear
They're gone
Let's do what we dare
Do what we like
And love while we're here
Before time passes by
Thoughts are like pennies
we keep in our pockets
They're never worth nothing
till we give them away
Love's like a promise
in an unopened letter
Where nights full of pleasure
seldom see the light of day
When life gets
in the way
Time passes by
People pass on
At the drop of a tear
They're gone
Let's do what we dare
Do what we like
And love while we're here
Before time passes by
Time passes by
People pass on
At the drop of a tear
They're gone
Let's do what we dare
Do what we like
And love while we're here
Before time passes by
