Big Time

If I only coulda realized Before the memories crystallized There was something more to a night I'll tell you what I know Everything has got a sacrifice Even winning is a compromise If you wanna live a happy life Don't let the good ones go Unrequited valentines The best of fruit left on the vine And all these things I can't deny I'm certified I was big time, wasn't I? All these big time people comin' by But it was right there all the while You were my big time, oh We were big time, oh Where the hell was I? When we were big time Only so much time in a day I mighta thrown a lot of it away Before I die I know I'll think about Our love, your smile, your way Absence, lies, and alibis Rented rooms and borrowed time And all these things I can't deny I'm certified I was big time, wasn't I? All these big time people comin' by But it was right there all the while You were my big time, oh We were big time, oh Where the hell was I? When we were big time We were big time, baby Now you know I know We were big time, baby We were big time, baby Now you know I know We were big time, baby We were big time, baby Now you know I know We were big time, baby We were big time, baby Now you know I know We were big time, baby We were big time, baby Now you know I know We were big time, baby
