Carolyn Dawn Johnson - Dress Rehearsal lyrics

Days pass me by just like moments

They're here and then they're gone for good, for good

I work so hard at where I'm going

I wonder what I've missed

I can't remember the last time

I picked up the phone just to talk for hours on end

I've sent a birthday card unlabeled

Maybe I should slow it down

Life doesn't wait for us to get it right day after night

It just goes on when it goes wrong, it goes and then it's gone

So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it, avoid regrets

Yeah, take a breath, realize, time is irreversible

This ain't no dress rehearsal

I've always got a big 'to do' list

Oh, but there's so much more to do, to see

I want to know that I didn't leave "I love you"

Trapped within my heart

There won't always be another day to

Say all the things you wanna say

So don't, don't wait, wait for the perfect situation

It will never come around

Life doesn't wait for us to get it right day after night

It just goes on when it goes wrong, it goes and then it's gone

So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it, avoid regrets

Yeah, take a breath, realize, time is irreversible

This ain't no dress rehearsal

When the show is over and they lay me down

I wanna be remembered for the love I spread around

Life doesn't wait for us to get it right day after night

It just goes on when it goes wrong, it goes and then it's gone

So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it, avoid regrets

Yeah, take a breath, realize, time is irreversible

This ain't no dress rehearsal
