Gaze at the sky   And picture a memory of days in your life   You knew what it meant to be happy and free   With time on your side      Remember your Daddy   When no one was wiser, your Ma used to say   That you would go farther than he ever could   With time on your side      Think of a boy with the stars in his eyes   Longing to reach them but frightened to try   Sadly you'd say someday, someday      But day after day   The show must go on and time slipped away   Before you could build any castles in Spain   The chance had gone by      With nothing to say and no one to say it to   Nothing has changed, you still got it all to do   Surely you know the chance has gone by      Think of a boy with the stars in his eyes   Longing to reach them but frightened to try   Sadly you'd say someday, someday      But day after day   The show must go on and you gaze at the sky   And picture a memory of days in your life   With time on your side      With time on your side   (Day after day the show must go on)   With time on your side   (Day after day the show must go on)      With time on your side   (Day after day the show must go on)   With time on your side   (Day after day the show must go on)
