I`ve Loved These Days

<br>Now we take our time...so nonchalant,<br>And spend our nights so bon vivant.<br>We dress our days in silken robes,<br>The money comes, the money goes...<br>We know it`s all a passing phase.<br>We light our lamps for atmosphere,<br>And hang our hopes on chandeliers.<br>We`re goinig wrong, we`re gaining weight,<br>We`re sleeping long and far too late.<br>And so it`s time to change our ways...<br>But I`ve loved these days.<br>Now as we indulge in things refined,<br>We hide our hearts from harder times.<br>A string of pearls, a foreign car...<br>Oh, we can only go so far...on caviar and Cabernet.<br>We drown our doubts in dry champagne,<br>And soothe our souls with fine cocaine.<br>I don`t know why I even care...<br>We get so hig and get nowhere.<br>We`ll have to change our jaded ways...<br>But I`ve loved these days.<br>So before we end (and then begin)-<br>We`ll drink a toast to how it`s been...<br>A few more hours to be complete,<br>A few more nights on satin sheets,<br>A few more times that I can say...<br>I`ve loved these days.<br>----------------------------------------------------------
