Time To Make A Life Lyrics

We wake up every morning,



In the early eyes of dawn



roll on out of bed, kiss,



And put the coffee on.



By 9 or 10 I feel as though,



I’ve worked a day or two



I close my eyes and dream about,



Spending time with you



Everyday I trade the simple things 



for all their weight in gold



But they always leave me longing for



something more that I can hold







[Chorus]







We’ve got the house,



we always thought we needed



We’ve got everything the Jones’ would dream of



We give all we’ve got 



from 9 to 9



and think we’ve got it right



We got time to make a living,



Just no time to make a life.







If we woke up tomorrow,



And all of this was gone,



I know we’d have everything



we need to carry on



More and More I’m missing 



the way things used to be



When all we ever had in life



was time for you and me



Still I trade the simple things for all their weight in gold,



And still they leave me longing for



something more that I can hold.







[Chorus]







We’ve got the house,



We always thought we needed



We’ve got everything the Jones’ would dream of



We give all we’ve got 



from 9 to 9



and think we’ve got it right



We got time to make a living,



Just no time to make a life.



It seems this world’s gone crazy



Seems we’ve lost all sense of time.



We’re all running a race



that has no Finnish line.







[Chorus]







We’ve got the house,



We always thought we needed



We’ve got everything the Jones’ would dream of



We give all we’ve got 



from 9 to 9



and think we’ve got it right



We got time to make a living,



Just no time to make a life.







Yah, time to make a living,



Just no time to make a life.



It’s about time.



Time to make a life.



It’s about you and me.
