Paying the Price

Doyou remember a time

Backin our prime,

Backwhen our hearts were both young.

Itwas just you and me

Wildand free

Happilyfocused on just having fun.

Buttime has a way

Ofmaking us pay

Forevery roll of the dice.

Webet it all

Andour bluff gets called,

Andwe end up paying the price.

 

Afterall the dances

Andthe chances that we dared

It’samazing that we’re both still here.

Youand me together

Damnthe weather, we don’t care.

Wecould face the devil without fear.

 

Solet the piper play,

We’llpay him someday,

Letthe music go on for a while.

Honeycan’t you see

It’sjust reality.

Wecan dance and stroll another mile.

Wecan face another day,

Itall passes anyway,

Socut that cake and have another slice.

Putyour worries in the past

Becausenothing ever lasts

Andwe all end up paying the price.
