Lyrics for A Lifetime to Find
Oh Death, oh Death I was just getting dressed The place is a mess, I was hoping you'd forget But I can feel you in my chest, I can feel you in my chest Oh yes, oh yes, Death never rests I can see you've done your best The problem is just this, it's too late for regrets I am here to collect It takes a lifetime to find A life like the life you had in mind It takes a lifetime to find A life like the life you had in mind Now you'r械 mine Oh Death, I confess, I should'v械 known what to expect But you're so hard to accept Last time I checked I was neck and neck As healthy as the next Oh yes, you were blessed, blessed in the past tense But it's too late now to make it make sense It's too late to pretend This day won't ever end It takes a lifetime to find A life like the life you had in mind It takes a lifetime to find A life like the life you had in mind And now you're mine So alright, today's the day and tonight is the night There's no reason, there's no rhyme Just time to go, goodbye Why can't you try to ease what's on my poor mind Oh Jeff, don't obsess, it's the best that I can do To help you see the light and help the light to see you It's true, there was a truth That was you and only you ever knew It takes a lifetime to find The life like the life you had in mind It takes a lifetime to find The life like the life you had in mind Takes a lifetime to find The life like the life you had in mind Now you're mine
