Words and music by Christopher Cross and Rob Meurer



I woke up to my world this morning

Took a long look in the looking glass

Last night I guess I had one or too many

Somebody tried to tell me I had no class



What ever happened to me

Maybe I've been living on lies

Never really had a dream come true

Then again I guess I never really tried



Now the years all slip away

And things are like they're gonna stay

All the roads I didn't take are just

One more thing in the back of my mind

Taking space and time



Wish I'd finished that book I never started

Maybe that's the story of my life

Should've learned to play that saxophone

So I could tell my song to the streetlight



Shouldn't have been so stuck on my own

Could've had a wife and a child

Should've made that house a home

I don't know why my life is so wild



Now the years all slip away

And things are like they're gonna stay

All the chances I didn't take are just

One more thing in the back of my mind

Taking space and time

One more thing in the back of my mind



So I'm thinking about a walk in the sunlight

I've got to get my shadow behind me

Try and make some sense of it all

With my feet on the ground and my heart still free



As the years will slip away

I'll let the cards fall where they may

And all the roads I didn't take will be just

One more thing in the back of my mind



As the years will slip away

And the cards fall as they may

All the chances I didn't take will be just

One more thing in the back of my mind

Taking space and time

One more thing in the back of my mind

One more thing in the back of my mind
