In which we're given paradise but only for a day? Is it written in the stars, are we paying for some crime? Is that all that we are good for, just a stretch of mortal time? Is this God's experiment in which we had no say? I am here to tell you we can

I recall when I used to come home never had a dime But Lord I always had a good time And I recall drinkin' wine with one of my friends Lord, I can't go back again Am I losin' my own way back home Am I losin' a good friend that I've known Am I losin'

And we all had a real good time. Somebody told me I was out of my mind. I couldn't stop myself from feelin' fine. I don't remember how I got this way. I don't recall what happened yesterday. I don't remember what I did last night. But I know I was

But I had no idea what a good time would cost Till last night when I sat and talked with you Time was once just a clock to me And life was just a book a biography Success was something you just had to be And I would spend myself unknowingly And you know

Well, I'm a man of many wishes Hope my premonition misses But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide ‘Cause they always start to cry ‘Cause this time could mean goodbye Lately, I have had the strangest feeling With no vivid reason here to find Yet

Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time Here comes the start of every sleepless night The first of every tear I'm gonna cry Here comes the pain, here comes me wishing things had never changed And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes
