Time goes by and we watch our lives,
As they're sadly slipping away.
Alone, we cry.

So follow that tune,
(missing lyric line)
The melody you never heard,
When you were young you didn't care.
It's the one that stole your father's pride,
That mighty, mighty dollar sign.
These are the things that matter now,
So sing along and be prepared..

To jump when the ship has sunk,
And you're slowly watching it drown.
Alone, we cry.

So follow that tune,
(missing lyric line)
The melody you never heard,
When you were young you didn't care.
It's the one that stole your father's pride,
That mighty, mighty dollar sign.
These are the things that matter now,
So sing along and be prepared..
