While I Still Got the Time

Thirty-nine candles burnt out on a cake

Each representing a million mistakes

The last one still burns

There's a wish I can make

This time I'm getting' it right

So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath

And I promise myself in the time I have left

I'm gonna work like I don't need the money

I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry

I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching

I'm gonna love while I still got the time

Lovin' me hasn't been easy on you

I don't know why, but I know you still do

It may be my day, but here's a present for you

You're lookin' at your new man

He's sincere and sober and faithful and kind

And he's home when you need

And girl, starting tonight

I'm gonna work like I don't need the money

I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry

I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching

I'm gonna love while I still got the time

No more excuses and no more me doing things wrong

Life is too short, baby, I've wasted ours for too long

And baby from now on

I'm gonna work like I don't need the money

I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry

I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching

I'm gonna love while I still got the time

I'm gonna work like I don't need the money

(I know I am)

I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry

(Laugh laugh laugh)

I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching

(I'm gonna dance, I'm gonna dance)

I'm gonna love while I still got the time

I'm gonna love while I still got the time

While I still got the time
