A Good Time

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

An apple will spoil if it's been abused

A candle disappears when it's been used

A rainbow may follow up a hurricane

And I can't leave forever on a train

But 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

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

You can smile for the lack of something else to do

And no one will laugh and point at you

If your tears didn't always make me feel so bad

Would you still cry every time that you felt sad?

Well 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
