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 oughta
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
But 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
And 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
