Playing for Keeps

Heart beatin' faster than before,

Used to be dreaming,

Now I'm staring out the door.

Mindful of memories pass me by,

Askin' me questions,

May never know why.

Here and there we were,

Not long ago at least,

Let's be fair, we're both better now,

Still miles apart, but playing for keeps.

Age to age, you got a friend in me,

Said "time is true lover's only enemy,"

So, let it be so,

Show me your way,

Lie me down and stay,

Here and there we were,

Not long ago at least,

Let's be fair, we're both better now,

Still miles apart, but playing for keeps.
