Days pass me by just like moments   They're here and then   They're gone for good, for good   I work so hard at where I'm going   I wonder what I've missed?      I can't remember the last time   I picked up the phone just   To talk for hours on end   Or sent a birthday card unbelated   Maybe I should slow down      Life doesn't wait for us to get it right   Day after night   It just goes on when it goes wrong   It goes and then it's gone      So, I'm gonna do my best   To make the most of it, avoid regret, yeah   Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible   This ain't no dress rehearsal      I've always got a big to-do list   Oh, but there's so much more   To do, to see, I want to know   That I didn't leave, I love you's   Trapped within my heart      There won't always be another day to   Say all the things, say all the things   You wanna say, so don't, don't wait   Wait for the perfect situation   It will never come around      Life doesn't wait for us to get it right   Day after night   It just goes on when it goes wrong   It goes and then it's gone      So, I'm gonna do my best   To make the most of it, avoid regret, yeah   Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible   This ain't no dress rehearsal, yeah      When the show is over   And they lay me down   I want to be remembered   For the love I spread around      Life doesn't wait for us to get it right   Day after night   It just goes on when it goes wrong   It goes and then it's gone      So, I'm gonna do my best   To make the most of it, avoid regret, yeah   Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible   This ain't no dress rehearsal   This ain't no dress rehearsal
