lyrics

ALL TOO SOON

All too soon the party’s over
I’m standing in the driveway
Dressed up for the night but dawn’s already breaking
No sign of the car I came in
Looks like I’ll be walking
To my rented space and bed of my own making

But where did all the time and money go?

Nothing’s ever made to last
Things just disappear so fast
All too soon – all too soon
All the things I held so tightly
I should have learned to hold more lightly
All too soon

There came a day I reached a summit
And I surveyed my kingdom
In the distance higher mountains called me by my name
It’s too easy to get used to
Oxygen that pure
All too soon I’m in the valley far beneath me

I never thought I’d have to stoop so low again

Nothing’s…

It’s only fair that morning follows night
High tide replaces low
It can’t be all just honeymoon that’s over all too soon

Here today, gone later on today
