Time keeps moving on
Friends they turn away
I keep moving on
But I never found out why
I keep pushing so hard a dream
I keep trying to make it right
Through another lonely day, whoa
Dawn has come at last
Twenty-five years, honey just one night, oh yeah
Well, I'm twenty-five years older now
So I know we can't be right
And I'm no better, baby, and I can't help you no more
Than I did when just a girl
But it don't make no difference, baby, no, no
And I know that I could always try
It don't make no difference, baby, yeah
I better hold it now, I better need it, yeah
I'm gonna use it till the day I die
Don't expect any answers, dear
For I know that they don't come with age, no, no
I'm never going to love you any better, babe
And I'm never going to love you right
So you'd better take it now, right now, oh
But it don't make no difference, baby
And I know that I could always try
There's a fire inside of everyone of us
You better need it now, I get to hold it, yeah
I'm gonna use it till the day I die
Don't make no difference, babe, no, no, no
And it never ever will, ehy
I wanna talk about a little bit of loving, yeah
I get to hold it, baby
I'm gonna need it now
I'm gonna use it, say, ah
Don't make no difference, babe, yeah
Ah honey, I'd hate to be the one
I said you're gonna live your life
And you're better love your life
Or babe, someday you're gonna have to cry
Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed
Ah, baby, yes indeed
I said you, you're always gonna hurt me
I said you're always gonna let me down
I said everywhere, every day, every day
And every way, every way
Ah, honey, won't you hold on to what's gonna move
I said it's gonna disappear when you turn your back
I said you know it ain't gonna be there
When you wanna reach out and grab on
Whoa, babe
Whoa, babe
Whoa, babe
Oh, but keep truckin' on
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
