Sweet Time
(Wilson, Browne, Davis)

Just a minute
Yeah, I can do everything
I’ll begin it
I’ve gotta let this day take wing
Run around, always a million things to do
‘Times I feel like I’m barely breaking through
What would happen if I stood still?

[Chorus:}
I’m letting the world go
Just watching the grass grow
I’m takin’ my own sweet time
There’s nothing I can’t do
But nothing I have to
I’m making my sweet time

I’ve been working
So hard just to keep my place
Now I’m learning
It’s this minute that I can’t waste
Run around, I go a million separate ways
Can I find a way to get out of this maze?
What would happen if I just stayed?


[Chorus]

I remember when one day felt like a lifetime
And every moment made me believe
I couldn’t even imagine how it could fly by
It’s not getting by me so easily

[Chorus]
