Time Enough For Love
Michael Feinstein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there'll be parties and fireworks and music enough to dance
And there'll be chances to take, money to make
Out in the madding crowd you'll be allowed to push and shove
There will be laughter, there will be heartache
No one to follow your rivers, through mountains to oceans wide
Listen and please be wise, no matter what the price you're dreamin' of
Make time enough for love, time enough for love
But don't forget little man, keep this if you can
Listen and please be wise, no matter what the price you're dreamin' of
Make time enough for love, time enough for love
