A Good Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time was once just a clock to me
And life was just a book, a biography
Success was something you just had to be
And I would spend myself unknowingly
And you know that I could have me a million more friends
And all I'd have to lose is my point of view
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
Till last night when I sat and talked with you

[Verse 2]
An apple will spoil if it's been abused
A candle disappears when it's been used
A rainbow may follow up a hurricane
And I can't leave forever on a train
But you know that I'd survive if I never spoke again
And all I'd have to lose is my vanity
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
Till last night when you sat and talked with me

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

And no one will laugh and point at you
If your tears didn't always make me feel so bad
Would you still cry every time that you felt sad?
Well I thought I'd heard and seen enough to get along
Till you said something neither of us knew
And I had no idea what a good time would cost
Till last night when I sat and talked with you
