歌曲:I've Loved These Days
(Live Version)
作詞:Billy Joel
作曲:Billy Joel
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 long
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,
Oh, 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 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.
