Time keeps movin' on

Friends they turn away

I keep movin' on

But I never found out why

I keep pushing so hard the dream

I keep tryin' to make it right

Through another lonely day, whoaa

Dawn has come at last

Twenty-five years, honey just in one night, oh, yeah

Well, I'm twenty-five years older now

So I know we can't be right

And I'm no better, baby

And I can't help you no more

Than I did when just a girl

Aww, but it don't make no difference, baby, no, no

And I know that I could always try

It don't make no difference, baby, yeah

I better hold it now

I better need it, yeah

I better use it till the day I die, whoa

Don't expect any answers, dear

For I know that they don't come with age, no, no

Well, ain't never gonna love you any better, babe

And I'm never gonna love you right

So you'd better take it now, right now

Oh! But it don't make no difference, babe, hey

And I know that I could always try

There's a fire inside everyone of us

You'd better need it now

I got to hold it, yeah

I better use it till the day I die

Don't make no difference, babe, no, no, no

And it never ever will, hey

I wanna talk about a little bit of loving, yeah

I got to hold it, baby

I'm gonna need it now

I'm gonna use it, say, aaaah

Don't make no difference, babe, yeah

Ah honey, I'd hate to be the one

I said you're gonna live your life

And you're gonna love your life

Or babe, someday you're gonna have to cry

Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed

Ah, baby, yes indeed

I said you, you're always gonna hurt me

I said you're always gonna let me down

I said everywhere, every day, every day

And every way, every way

Ah honey won't you hold on to what's gonna move

I said it's gonna disappear when you turn your back

I said you know it ain't gonna be there

When you wanna reach out and grab on

Whoa babe

Whoa babe

Whoa babe

Oh but keep truckin' on

Whoa yeah

Whoa yeah

Whoa yeah

Whoa

Whoa

Whoa

Whoa

Whoa
