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
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
Oh, and where the hell was I
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
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
Oh, and where the hell was I
