How can we know how far The long way can be? Looking from where we are It never seemed that long to me I've many miles behind me Maybe not so much ahead It seems I made good time With the directions I misread So I'm gonna spend my time Like it's going out of style I'm moving the bottom line Farther than a country mile I still have hills to climb Before I hit that wall No matter how much time I buy I can never spend it all Funny thing, that time We're always running out I'm always losing mine There's not enough of it about An' though it's always here It will always come and go The days become the years That'll be gone before you know So I'm gonna spend my time Like it's going out of style I'm moving the bottom line Better than a country mile I still have hills to climb Before I hit that wall I won't go quietly into that dark night There'll be no more burnin' daylight I'll be living in Every moment that I'm in Oh,I'm gonna spend my time Like it's going out of style I'll only use what's mine I've been savin' for a while I still have hills to climb Before I hit that wall No matter how much time I buy I can never spend it all No matter how much time we buy We can never spend it all I'm gonna spend my time I'm gonna spend my time
