A Good Time

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 that I could have me a million more friends And all I'd have to lose is my point of view But I had no idea what a good time would cost Till last night when I sat and talked with you An apple will spoil if it's been abused A candle disappears when its been used A rainbow may follow up a hurricane And I can't leave forever on a train And you know that I'd survive if I never spoke again And all I'd have to lose is my vanity But I had no idea what a good time would cost Till last night when you sat and talked with me You can smile for the lack of something else to do And no one will laugh and point a finger at you If your tears didn't always make me feel so bad Would you still cry every time that you felt sad? I thought I'd heard and seen enough to get along Till you said something neither of us knew And I had no idea what a good time would cost Till last night when I sat and talked with you
