These Important Years

Lyrics

Well, you get up every morning And you see it's still the same And all the floors and all the walls And all the rest remains Nothing changes fast enough The hurry-worry days It makes you want to give it up And drift into a haze Revelations seem to be another way To make the days go faster anyway We're all exchanging pleasantries No matter how we feel And no one knows the difference 'Cause it all seems so unreal You'd better grab ahold of something Simple, but it's true If you don't stop to smell the roses now They might end up on you Expectations only mean you really think you know What's coming next, and you don't Yearbooks with their autographs From friends you might have had These are your important years You'd better make them last And falling in and out of love just like These are your important years, your life, oh These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years Once you've seen the light, you suddenly Realize it might end up all right It might end up all right now Yearbooks with their autographs From friends you might have had Well, these are your important years You'd better make them last And falling in and out of love just like These are your important years, your life These are your important years, your life These are your important years, your life These are your important years, your life These are your important years, your life, oh These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years These are your important years
