[Verse 1]
Come close to me and we will feast on your life
We will dine on your joy, your pain and strife
Life seems so short
Don't you wish you'd seen more?
[Chorus]
'Cause suddenly
Oh, suddenly
In the blink of an eye
Your life has passed you by
And you treasure
Those sweet memories
[Verse 2]
You always dreamed of better days to come
You've sat there doting on the past that has gone
Life seems so short
Don't you wish you'd done more?
[Chorus]
'Cause suddenly
Oh, suddenly
In the blink of an eye
Your life has passed you by
And you treasure
Those sweet memories
[Bridge]
So give me a little more time on planet Earth
I need a little more time
More time to dance, so many questions I need to ask
Skinny dip late at night, and learn to play the piano right
I wanna laugh until hurts and become some kind of expert
[Chorus]
Before suddenly
Oh, suddenly
In the blink of an eye
My life has passed me by
And I treasure
Those sweet memories
