Lyrics of 'Dress Rehearsal' by Johnson Carolyn Dawn

Days pass me by just like moments
they're here and then they're gone for good
for good
I work so hard at where I'm going
I wonder what I've missed
I can't remember the last time
I picked up the phone just to talk for hours on end
I've sent a birthday card unbelated
Maybe I should slow it down

(Chorus)
Life doesn't wait for us
to get it right day after night
It just goes on when it goes wrong
it goes and then it's gone
So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it
avoid regrets
take a breath
realize
Time is irreversable
this ain't no dress rehearsal

I've always got a big to do list
oh but there's so much more to do, to see
I want to know that I didn't leave "I love yous" trapped within my heart
There won't always be another day to
say all the things you wanna say
so don't, don't wait for the perfect situation
It will never come around

Life doesn't wait for us
to get it right day after night
It just goes on when it goes wrong
it goes and then it's gone
So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it
avoid regrets
take a breath
realize
Time is irreversable
this ain't no dress rehearsal

When the show is over
and they lay me down
I wanna be remembered
for the love I spread around

Life doesn't wait for us
to get it right day after night
It just goes on when it goes wrong
it goes and then it's gone
So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it
avoid regrets
take a breath
realize
Time is irreversable
this ain't no dress rehearsal

This ain't no dress rehearsal
