Another red light on a cold November day I see the faces following close in a long headlight parade To a resting place where tear-stained eyes say goodbye I've been moving so fast I've forgotten where I'm going I'm driving blind, but The wheels of life have a beautiful way of slowing You down sometimes To catch your breath and take a second to Smile when you're not supposed to laugh And cry when you're supposed to hold it back And live like the sun is burning out of the sky 'Cause tomorrow's too late So don't waste a day of this life ♪ The long black car moves slow through the intersection I take a left and I point my life in the opposite direction I take a breath 'cause I can't help thinking That the man in that Lincoln is telling me to Smile when you're not supposed to laugh And cry when you're supposed to hold it back And live like the sun is burning out of the sky 'Cause tomorrow's too late So don't waste a day of this life So many souls are set on leaving for Eden But I will cherish this time here Yeah, yeah Smile when you're not supposed to laugh And cry when you're supposed to hold it back And live like the sun is burning out of the sky 'Cause tomorrow's too late there's no time to wait So don't waste a day in this life
