Hollies - Poison Ivy (Leiber/Stoller) lyrics

Pockets full of money that I saved and never spent

A shoebox full of letters that I wrote and never sent

Words of love and promises I thought but never said

Hoping that I wouldn't fall behind

Nights I wasted dreaming things that I forgot when I awoke

Journeys I had plotted out, but I never found the road

Running into strangers, never looking in their eyes

All the magic that we might have shared if not for my disguise

And still, I'm grateful to be alive, and waiting for the moment to arrive

Seize the moment when it comes

Seize the moment - it may be the only one

Seize the moment - don't you let it pass you by

You've gotta seize the moments of your life

I tried to say I love you but I was paralyzed

I wanted to find happiness but I lost it in your eyes

I waited far too many years before I realized

I have wasted all the best years of my life

Just waiting for the moment to arrive

Seize the moment when it comes

Seize the moment - it may be the only one

Seize the moment - don't you let it pass you by

You've gotta seize the moments of your life

Oh, what am I waiting for?

There is really nothing more than this precious moment

And all this love I have inside

Now it's time to let it shine, so let it shine, let it shine

Seize the moment when it comes

Seize the moment - it may be the only one

Seize the moment - don't you let it pass you by

You've gotta seize the moments of your life
