Carolyn Dawn Johnson - Dress Rehearsal Lyrics

Days pass me by just like moments
There 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
Or send a birthday card unbelated
Maybe I should slow down

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, yes
Take a breath and realize, time is irreversible
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 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
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, yes
Take a breath and realize, time is irreversible
This ain't no dress rehearsal

And when the show is over
And they lay me down
I want to 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, yes
Take a breath and realize, time is irreversible
This ain't no dress rehearsal
This ain't no dress rehearsal
