Mark de Groot - Precious Time, Glory Days

Don't you dare replace

your first and only want.

Don't give up on the chase,

keep holding on!

Everything had gone to failure.

My ambition turned into 

my broken dreams.

I left a promise out to die.

Every word I still remember,

they've been ringing in my head 

on full repeat.

Can't get your talk to ever leave my mind.

But now from the clouds, 

there's a wind that gives me a boost.

My heart's burning hard,

it's about to light my fuse.

(Let's try again!)

Live in the now 

and break your confines.

Take ahold of this 

precious time (precious time)

glory days (glory days)

'cause your life is not to trade.

(Let's try again!)

Bring back the color as you advance.

Paint it red and then 

take a chance (take a chance)

shout it loud (shout it loud)

'cause your style is worth a bow.

Don't you dare replace

your first and only want.

Don't give up on the chase,

keep holding on!

Memories I've left forgotten,

they were hidden back behind 

the wall I made

beneath a horrid, blood-red sky.

This is what I've always wanted,

know that I'll be proud 

of who I was today

and I will run until the day I die.

The dream that you see, 

it is not a trick of the eye.

Look out, focus now

on the shooting star up high.

(Let's try again!)

Break out your heart 

and bring it to life.

Try savor this 

precious time (precious time)

glory days (glory days).

Gonna fly to you with haste.

(Let's try again!)

The zest that died is living again,

growing strong while we 

take a chance (take a chance)

shout it loud (shout it loud).

One more try and no more frowns.

Don't you dare replace

your first and only want.

Don't give up on the chase,

keep holding on!

Sooner or later

both our souls will meet and be found.

Wake up, sleeping heart.

Open up your eyes right now!

Live in the now 

and break your confines.

Take ahold of this 

precious time (precious time)

glory days (glory days)

'cause your life is not to trade.

(Let's try again!)

Bring back the color as you advance.

Paint it red and then 

take a chance (take a chance)

shout it loud (shout it loud)

'cause your style is worth a bow.

Don't you dare replace

your first and only want.

Don't give up on the chase,

keep holding on!

Don't you dare replace

your first and only want.

Never give up on the chase,

keep holding on!
