I've Loved These Days

Now, we take our time
So nonchalant
And spend our nights
So bon vivant

We dress our days
In silken robes
The money comes
The money goes
We know it's all
A passing phase

We light our lamps
For atmosphere
And hang our hopes
On chandeliers

We're going wrong
We're gaining weight
We're sleeping home
And far too late
And so it's time
To change our ways
But I've loved these days

Now as we indulge
In things refined
We hide our hearts
From harder times

A string of pearls
A foreign car
But we can only
Go so far
On caviar
And cabernet

We drown our doubts
In dry champagne
And soothe our souls
With fine cocaine

I don't know why
I even care
We'll get so high
And get nowhere
We'll have to change
Our jaded ways
But I've loved these days

So before we end
And then begin
We'll drink a toast
To how it's been

A few more hours
To be complete
A few more nights
On satin sheets
A few more times
That I can say
I've loved these days
