Time to Spare

I've been thinking about you lately

I've been wondering where you are

It's been years since we went rambling through the night

You were gonna write your novel

I was gonna be a star

We were young and things were sure to work out right

And oh, the nights were warmer then

We were free from care

Nobody wished us anything but well

We had time to spare

We had time to spare

Revolution was a-comin'

In the vanguard we would be

We could feel the coming victory in our bones

But the music started changing

And one morning around three

We decided we would all be Rolling Stones

And oh, the nights were warmer then

We were free from care

Nobody wished us anything but well

We had time to spare (we had time to spare)

We had time to spare

We started getting married

And we started our careers

Though we swore that deep inside, we'd stay the same

The children started coming

And they seemed to swallow years

So we taught ourselves to play a different game

Now, we read it in the papers

And we watch it on TV

All the politics

The passions in the air

I've been thinking about you lately

And how much you meant to me

And how wonderful it was when we were there

And oh, the nights were warmer then

We were free from care

Nobody wished us anything but well

We had time to spare (we had time to spare)

We had time to spare

Oh, nobody wished us anything but well

We had time to spare

We had time to spare
