While I Still Got the Time

39 candles burnt out on a cake Each representin' a million mistakes The last one still burns, there's a wish I can make This time I'm gettin' it right So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath And I promise myself in the time I have left I'm gonna work like I don't need the money I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry I'm gonna dance like nobody's watchin' I'm gonna love while I still got the time Lovin' me hasn't been easy on you I don't know why, but I know you still do It may be my day, but here's a present for you You're lookin' at your new man He's sincere and sober and faithful and kind And he's home when you need him and girl startin' tonight I'm gonna work like I don't need the money I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry I'm gonna dance like nobody's watchin' I'm gonna love while I still got the time No more excuses and no more me doing things wrong Life is too short, baby, I've wasted ours for too long And baby from now on I'm gonna work like I don't need the money I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry I'm gonna dance like nobody's watchin' I'm gonna love while I still got the time I'm gonna work (gonna work like I don't need the money) I know I am I'm gonna laugh (gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry) laugh, laugh, laugh I'm gonna dance (I'm gonna dance like nobody's watchin') I'm gonna dance, I'm gonna dance I'm gonna love while I still got the time I'm gonna love while I still got the time While I still got the time
