Carolyn Dawn Johnson Dress Rehearsal Lyrics

Dress Rehearsal Lyrics

Days pass me by just like moments

There 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



Chorus

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 and 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 yous

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



Chorus



And when the show is over 

And they lay me down

I want to be remembered for the love I spread around



Chorus
