Now we take our time

So nonchalant

And spend our nights

So Bon vivant

We dress our days

In silken robes

The money comes

The money goes

We know it's all a passing phase,....

We light our lamps

For atmosphere

And hang our hopes

On chandeliers

We're going long

We're gaining weight

We're sleeping long

And far too late

And so it's times

To change our ways

But I've loved these days.

Now as we indulge

In things refined

We hide our hearts

From harder times

A string of pearls

A foreign car

Oh we can only go so far

On caviar and Cabernay.

We drown our doubts

In dry champage

and soothe our souls

with fine cocaine

I don't know why i ever care

We'll get so high

And get nowhere

We'll have to change our jaded ways,...

But i've loved these days.

So before we end

And then begin

we'll drink a toast to how it's been

a few more hours to be complete

a few more nights on satin sheets

A few more times that I can say,..

I've loved these days
