Borrowed Time

Oh I'm not as quick as I once was And I can feel my candle burning And as years pass by me, I have found There's a few things I am learning Oh that big ole sun it rises every day But I've learned to see it like the first time Oh they say that youth is Wasted on the young When you're old, you're old and empty But have you looked into an old woman's eyes When she speaks of being twenty Oh how memories can burn, while they warm But I've learned to let my memories fill me Cause we are living on a borrowed time A time to go and a time to come Friends and lovers keep us warm, safe and covered While we're all here on borrowed time I have spent a decade in one man's arms And I still feel his breath upon me And I have held a new life in my hands And held that same life while it left me So keep the hope in eyes, and the song in your heart Then hold on tight it's for the taking Cause we are living on a borrowed time A time to go and a time to come Friends and lovers keep us warm, safe and covered While we're all here on borrowed time Friends and lovers keep us warm, safe and covered While we're all here on borrowed time
