I used to drink a lot in those days you see

Ya, that's the way the wind blows

These days the only bar I ever see

Has got lettuce and tomatoes

I get pumped up in the back of my mind

Start thinking those days were the best of times

But I never look forward to looking back

Now I see a little daylight coming through the cracks

Don't you know we're living in stolen moments

You steal enough it feels like we're stopping time

These days are gold we're living in stolen moments

Just grab a hold

Well some guy told you that you couldn't dance

And you been carrying that forever

I'm the kinda fella needs a, a second chance

C'mon baby let's boo-ga-loo together

I see you over there just clinging to the wall

Cause they told you like ivy, you were born to crawl

But you kept looking up, girl, and I know why

Cause you knew some day you were gonna touch the sky

Baby, you know we're living in stolen moments

You steal enough it feels like we're stopping time

These days are gold we're living in stolen moments

Just grab a hold and feel your way

These days are yours and mine

Well, I couldn't dream this life I'm livin'

Somehow we just survived and every waste of time forgiven

Now I'm out in the backyard leaning on a tree

And I have no way of knowing

Can't lean too hard that's my philosophy

Man that tree is growing

Maybe I'll never grow up to be straight and tall

But you can lean on me, baby, I won't fall

Maybe in the deal I can learn to bend

Learn to listen like that tree, baby

Like a good friend

Well don't you know we're living in stolen moments

You steal enough it feels like we're stopping time

These days are gold we're living in stolen moments

Just grab hold and feel these days are yours and mine

Don't ya know we're living in stolen moments

You steal enough it feels like we're stopping time

These days are gold we're living in stolen moments

Just grab hold and feel your way

These days are yours and mine
