Live For the Moment
Jake Coco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Old woman doing nothing thinking about her life and where she went wrong, and how it passed her by
Old woman doing nothing thinking about her dreams and how it always seemed they were right next door
She never got a chance to dance the way she wanted to, she never got her time to fly.

Live for the moment, dream for tonight, don't take it for granted or this life will pass you by

Little lady young and jaded thinking about the road that lies ahead from now and where it's going to lead her
Little lady young and jaded gonna get married to Mr. Right
But when she's walking down the aisle she'll think about the fact she never got her chance to dance, she never got to fly

Live for the moment, dream for tonight, don't take it for granted or this life will pass you by

Another day is coming, another day is going, another life is wasted another heart is broken

And every day keeps coming, every day keeps going, never let them waste away, let your heart be broken

Little baby pretty baby brought into the world today, she listens as the doctors say
Little baby pretty baby she don't know about the troubles of the world, she's just one little girl.
But maybe one day she can dance the way her mama always wanted to. She'll finally get to fly

Live for the moment, dream for tonight, don't take it for granted or this life will pass you by


Little lady pretty baby older woman little girl.
