Life is a melody, sing your song.
Words to a symphony, it won't take long
Ready to run your life as you planned
Ready to make your choice in the end.

Can I hold you, can I hold you now?
These dreams that you've been dreaming
Will fade away somehow.
Can I hold you, can I hold you still?
We've gone through mixed emotions
And I know we always will.

You got to pay your dues, realize
You got to sing the blues with tears in your eyes
The great things in life will come for those who can wait
Take off your painted smile, your masquerade.
