One day you'll wake and wonder why
You sat and watched your life go by.
You'll wonder why you did not see
Such golden opportunity.

Now it is gone you can just dream
And thinking of what could have been.
That little chance you didn't take
Regretful now for that mistake.

For time has passed the years have gone
No time to ponder what went wrong
No time to think of what you missed
Life's happy lips you could have kissed.

Consoling thoughts with you today
And yes, you did it all your way.
So when you have it all ahead
Don't shy away or lose your head

Don't think the world will come to you.
Don't think there's things you cannot do.
So when you wake don't wonder why
You sat and watched your life go by.
