YOU SAY TO ME - WHY CAN'T IT BE JUST LIKE IT WAS ONCE BEFORE WELL YOU LEAD THE WAY AND I'LL FIND THE TREE YOU CATCH THE LEAVES AS THEY FALL DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE - THE TIME'S NOT PAST DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE AND EVEN THOUGH I TELL MYSELF - ALL IS LOST SOMEWHERE THERE'S A SPARK OF HOPE . SOMEHOW THE WORLD KEEPS TURNING PROMISING A BETTER DAY SOMEWHERE THE SPARK IS BURNING - AWAY IF WE WERE FREE - TO DO AS WE PLEASE WHAT WOULD WE CHANGE - YOU AND I TO HOLD BACK THE NIGHT - TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT TO LIVE UNDER BRIGHT BLUE BLUE SKY DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE - THE TIME'S NOT PAST DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE AND EVEN THOUGH I TELL MYSELF - ALL IS LOST BUT SOMEWHERE THERE'S A SPARK OF HOPE SOMEHOW THE WORLD KEEPS TURNING PROMISING A BETTER DAY SOMEWHERE THE SPARK IS BURNING - AWAY AS WE LOOK TO THE HORIZON WAY OUT ON THE SEA WE SEE THE SUN STILL RISING JUST FOR YOU AND ME WHEN WE WERE YOUNG - LIFE WAS SO STRANGE SO COMPLICATED WE WOULD CRY BUT WHEN WE GROW OLD WILL MYSTERY HOLD US BOTH IN ITS SPELL AS TIME GOES BY DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE
