Spinning Down Songtext
von John Oates

When I was young I watched the sun come up
And thought the day would never end
And every sunset was a masterpiece that kept
Reminding me that the night would soon be over
And the morning gonna come again.

So we fill our lives ...watch the years slip by
Try to believe the lie... of immortality

Now I see life spinning down
What was the distant horizon now surrounds me
And every step I take... the ground that I stand upon
The rock that I counted on, Is crumbling away, falling away


There was a time I did not understand
The value of each passing moment
Or the rniracle of a heartbeat
And the power of a kind word and a smile

We gotta live each day don′t let the little things get in our way
And never ever forget to say... say I love you...
Oh I really love you

Now I see life spinning down
What was the distant horizon now surrounds me
And every step I take... the ground that I stand upon
The rock that I counted on, is crumbling away, falling away

So we roll the dice and we pay the price
We've got to live each day and never forget to say
I love you
