Lyrics
Seize The Day
Verse
I met her in a hot dog stand down by the pier
She was eating french fries. I was sit?n drinking beer.
It looked like she didn?t have anywhere to go
I asked her to sit. She told me politely, ?No?
Chorus 1
Oh yeah, the time is right.
You?ll never find a day when a better chance comes along
Oh my, give it a try
You haven?t got a thing to lose.
Verse
?Maybe you?d like something to go along with those fries??
She sat down and told me ?Yes? with her eyes
She looked at her watch and then looked towards the door
I picked up my change and followed her across the floor
Chorus 2
Oh yeah, take that chance
You rarely get a time when another one comes along
Oh my, opportunities fly,
If you don?t seize the day
Verse
We went back home and sat on my balcony
We watched the sun set as it fell into the sea
We fell out of bed somewhere close to 10
She asked me if we could go to lunch again
Chorus 1
Oh yeah, the time is right.
You?ll never find a day when a better chance comes along
Oh my, give it a try
You haven?t got a thing to lose.
Chorus 2
Oh yeah, take that chance
You rarely get a time when another one comes along
Oh my, opportunities fly,
If you don?t seize the day
