JOEL BILLY - I've Loved These Days lyrics

rate me

Now we take our time... so nonchalant,<br>And spend our nights so bon vivant.<br>We dress our days in silken robes,<br>The money comes, the money goes...<br>We know it's all a passing phase.<br><br>We light our lamps for atmosphere,<br>And hang our hopes on chandeliers.<br>We're going wrong, we're gaining weight,<br>We're sleeping long and far too late.<br>And so it's time to change our ways...<br>But I've loved these days.<br><br>Now as we indulge in things refined,<br>We hide our hearts from harder times.<br>A string of pearls, a foreign car...<br>Oh, we can only go so far... on caviar and cabernet.<br><br>We drown our doubts in dry champagne,<br>And soothe our souls with fine cocaine.<br>I don't know why I even care...<br>We get so high and get nowhere.<br>We'll have to change our jaded ways...<br>But I've loved these days.<br><br>So before we end (and then begin)-<br>We'll drink a toast to how it's been...<br>A few more hours to be complete,<br>A few more nights on satin sheets,<br>A few more times that I can say...<br>I've loved these days.
