Thirty nine candles burn out on a cake Each representing a million mistakes The last one still burns, there's a wish I can make This time I'm gettin' it right
So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath And I promise myself in the time I have left
I'm gonna work like I don't need the money I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching I'm gonna love while I still got the time
Lovin' me hasn't been easy on you I don't know why but I know you still do It maybe my day but here's a present for you You're lookin' at your new man
He's sincere and sober and faithful and kind And he's home when you need girl and startin' tonight
I'm gonna work like I don't need the money I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching I'm gonna love while I still got the time
No more excuses and no more me doin' things wrong Life is too short baby, I've wasted ours for too long And baby from now on
I'm gonna work like I don't need the money I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching I'm gonna love while I still got the time
I'm gonna work like I don't need the money I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching I'm gonna love while I still got the time I'm gonna love while I still got the time While I still got the time, Lord, Lord
