[Verse 1]
Maybe we got a ways to go, a lot of road ahead of us
And who really knows how many songs we got left in us
And so it goes, curtains will close
Whatever's next after the show

[Chorus]
We got time, but we're only human
We call it forever but we know that there's an end to it
You and I can dance our way through it
And I'll love you 'til all that we are is background music

Not everybody gets to leave a souvenir
[Chorus]
We got time, but we're only human
We call it forever but we know that there's an end to it
You and I can dance our way through it
And I'll love you 'til all that we are is background music
[Bridge]

We got time, but we're only human
We call it forever but we know that there's an end to it
You and I can dance our way through it
And I'll love you 'til all that we are
And I'll love you 'til all that we are is background music
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh
