Time was once

just a clock to me

and life was just a book

a biography

success was something

you just had to be

and I would spend myself unknowingly

and you know that I could have me

a million more friends

and all I'd have to lose

is my point of view

but I had no idea

what a good time would cost

till last night

when I sat and talked with you.



An apple will spoil

if it's been abused

a candle disappears

when its been used

a rainbow may follow

up a hurricane

and I can't leave forever

on a train

and you know that I'd survive

if I never spoke again

and all I'd have to lose

is my vanity

but I had no idea

what a good time would cost

till last night

when you sat and talked with me.





You can smile

for the lack of something else to do

and no one will laugh

and point a finger at you

if your tears didn't always

make me feel so bad

would you still cry

everytime that you felt sad

I thought I'd heard and seen

enough to get along

till you said something

neither of us knew

and I had no idea

what a good time would cost

till last night

when I sat and talked with you.
