Lyrics

Wasted Days

How many summers still remain
How many days are lost in vain
Who's counting now these last remaining years
How many minutes do we have here

Wasted days, wasted days
We watch our lives just fade away to more wasted days

How much sorrow is there left to climb
How many promises are worth a dime
And who on earth is worth our time
Is there a heart here that I can call mine

Wasted days, wasted days
We watch our lives just fade away to more wasted days

How can a man watch his life go down the drain
How many moments has he lost today
And who among us could ever see clear
The end is coming, it's almost here

Wasted days, wasted days
We watch our lives just fade away to more wasted days
Wasted days, wasted days
We watch our lives just fade away to more wasted days
Wasted days, more wasted days
We watch our lives just slip away to more wasted days
