Lyrics
Nothing Stays New
By: Charles Blair, Roger Russell, Kevin Moore, Robin Willis & Alex Gorodiscas
V1:
Times are changing
Nothing stays the same
since you were a little girl
you even changed your last name
there are things I can say
and things I can do
to show you I'm the right
kind of crazy for you
Chorus:
You know you're the one
you know you've got to have some fun
it's all you can do
cause nothing stays new
nothing stays new
V2:
You know
even as we talk
it's getting later by the moment
before you know it's dark
If you're listening
hear the words that I say
grab a piece of life
get it before it slips away
Chorus:
You know you're the one
you know you've got to have some fun
it's all you can do
cause nothing stays new
nothing stays new
SOLO
V3:
The clock unwinds
as the years go by
I can still see that young ballerina
dancing in your eyes
Chorus (2):
My hair turns to silver and grey
wrinkles of time cross my face
there's nothing you can do
cause nothing stays new
nothing stays new
Chorus:
You know you're the one
you know you've got to have some fun
it's all you can do
cause nothing stays new
nothing stays new
Nothing stays new
nothing stays new
