I don't wanna listen to the mirror telling me I'm no longer thirty-five
A mirror never lies
I don't look at photographs of someone who I can barely recognize
And so I hide my eyes
Now the crazy years are over
And I don't know if I miss them
There's a lot that can be said
But being just the age I am
Now I can take a little time to watch the world go 'round
See the day light up and the sun go down
And make a little time to touch the falling rain
And to see old friends I thought I'd never see again
And like the finest vintage wine, I still need a little time
Everybody heading for the city to do the same thing through another day
Gotta earn my pay
Now I get to choose the things I want to when I want to
I don't have to stay
I can always get away
And I never have to worry
Will I ever get to marry?
Should I take another job?
Or must I work another year?
Now I can take a little time to watch the world go 'round
See the day light up and then the sun go down
I make a little time to touch the falling rain
And to see old friends I thought I'd never see again
And so I take it as a sign, I still need a little time
I only know that after every sorry, there'll be a bright tomorrow
Another day I held in my hand
But even so, you've given up without a good reason
That's the thing I'll never understand
Why don't you take a little time to watch the world go 'round?
See the day light up and then the sun go down
You can make a little time to touch the falling rain
And to see old friends you thought you'd never see again
Take a little time to watch the world go 'round
See the day light up and then the sun go down
Make a little time to touch the falling rain
And to see old friends I thought I'd never see again
And like the finest vintage wine, I still need a little time
I need a little time
Need a little time
