I don't wanna be the one who's old before their time
and lose the wonder that I felt as a child
Can't run this race believing I might lose.
Still so much to see and so much left to do.
Yes, I'll fall before I fly
But no one can say I never tried.

Oh we just get one ride around the sun
in this dream of time
It goes so fast
But one day we look back and we ask,
"Was that my life?"

I close my eyes and think how lucky I have been
To hold the ones I love and share my dreams with them
All those sunny days and all those starry skies
Good morning kisses and sweet goodnights
Oh I can't tell them enough
Just how much that they are loved

Oh you just get one ride around the sun
in this dream of time
It goes so fast that one day we look back
and we ask, "was that my life?"
