Paroles: Carolyn Dawn Johnson. Dress Rehearsal.

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
Or sent a birthday card unbelated
Maybe I should slow 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 regret, 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's
Trapped within my heart

There won't always be another day to
Say all the things, 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 regret, yeah
Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible
This ain't no dress rehearsal, yeah

When the show is over
And they lay me down
I want to 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 regret, yeah
Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible
This ain't no dress rehearsal
This ain't no dress rehearsal
