late at night as i lay down to sleep i think of all the secrets people keep like how i feel for you do you feel it too or is it something we have to resume we re just two people watching time fly by in a world in it s obvious decline but we are young and strong we can carry on find a little paradise of our own cause no one saves the day it s no one else s fault if you re a day late or a dollar short just think about how lovely life could be excluding all the man made misery if we re too far behind and really out of time is there another world they plan to find too many dreams of youth that we never caught just a day late or a dollar short we re all just lonely people only dyin to fall in love feelings that we thought dreams we never caught just a day late or a dollar short  all the loneliness the blues feelings so distraught when you re a day late or a dollar short too many dreams of youth that we never caught just a day late or a dollar short and no one saves the day it s no one else s fault when you re a day late or a dollar short day late dollar short day late dollar short day late dollar short
