Old woman doing nothing thinking about her life

And where she went wrong

And how it passed her by

Old woman doing nothing thinking about her dreams

And how it always seemed they were right next door

She never got a chance to dance the way she wanted to

She never got her time to fly

Live for the moment

Dream for tonight

Don't take it for granted

Or this life will pass you by

Little lady young and jaded thinking about the road that lies ahead from now

And where it's going to lead her

Little lady young and jaded gonna get married to mr right mr right

But when she's walking down the aisle

She'll think about the fact she never got her chance to dance

She never got to fly

Live for the moment

Dream for tonight

Don't take it for granted

Or this life will pass you by

Another day is coming

Another day is going

Another life is wasted

Another heart is broken

And every day keeps coming

Every day keeps going

Never let them waste away

L let your heart be broken

Little baby pretty baby brought into the world today

She listens as the doctors say

Little baby pretty baby she don't know about the troubles of the world

She's just one little girl

But maybe one day she can dance the way her mama always wanted to

She'll finally get to fly

Live for the moment

Dream for tonight

Don't take it for granted

Or this life will pass you by

Little lady pretty baby older woman little girl
