Dress Rehearsal

Days pass me by just like moments They're here and then they're gone For good, for good I work so hard at where I'm going I wonder what I've missed I can't remember the last time I picked up the phone just to talk For hours on end Or sent a birthday card un-belated Maybe I should slow down Life doesn't wait for us to get it right Day after night It just goes on when it goes wrong It goes and then it's gone So I'm gonna do my best And make the most of it, avoid regrets Take a breath, realize Time is irreversible This ain't no dress rehearsal I've always got a big to-do list Oh, but there's so much more to do To see I want to Know that I didn't leave 'I love you's' Trapped within my heart There won't always be another day to Say all the things you want to say So don't, don't wait Wait for the perfect moment It will never come around Life doesn't wait for us to get it right Day after night It just goes on when it goes wrong It goes and then it's gone So I'm gonna do my best And make the most of it, avoid regrets Take a breath, realize Time is irreversible This ain't no dress rehearsal When the show is over And they lay me down I wanna be remembered For the love I spread around Life doesn't wait for us to get it right Day after night It just goes on when it goes wrong It goes and then it's gone So I'm gonna do my best And make the most of it, avoid regrets Take a breath, realize Time is irreversible This ain't no dress rehearsal This ain't no dress rehearsal
