Time to Spare

Lyrics

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
