Sing while you still can   and dance every chance   even if your legs hurt you straight to the bone   i promise you'll thank me someday   for everyone fades   or they burn out anyway   time is something i dont understand   (I) promise you won't look away      love hard and long   yeah it give it all away   for someday when you're standing all alone   you'll realize you couldn't be saved   good fathers pass away   and good mothers will too someday   the problem is it's entirely too late   to realize we had more to say      i'm sorry little girl   you are way too late   in a world that dreams no more   i'm so sorry little girl   no one fights for what's right any more   no one dances or sings anymore   and everyone's wrong when they say it's ok   oh, i'm so sorry little girl      no one stands alone anymore   everyone there is to be adored   in a world thats build out of sand   oh i'm so sorry little girl      and time it will be the death      someday they'll see the distance is growing from the earth to my feet   someday we'll see, yeah, distance is growing from the earth to my feet
