What About Now?

There`s gonna be a change of season
Indian Summer look around and it`s gone
Why you wanna save the best for last
We grow up so slowly, and grow old so fast

We don`t talk about forever
We just catch it while we can
And if I grab on to the moment
Don`t let it slip away out of my hand

What about now?
What about now
Forget about tomorrow
It`s too far away
What about now, what about now
Close your eyes, don`t talk of yesterday
It`s too far away, too far away
It`s too far away
What about now?

I`m coming out of the shadows
I`m getting of of this one way street
Blue memories, they just gather dust
Leave them in the rain, they turn into rust

Did you see the march to freedom?
Did you ever see Savannah moon
In the middle of the night?
All the other people walking in a line,
I said to the man, "Is it my time?"

What about now?
What about now
Forget about tomorrow, it`s too far away
What about now, what about now
Just close your eyes, don`t talk of yesterday
It`s too far away, too far away
It`s too far away
What about now?

In the walk of a lifetime
When you know it`s the right time
(Bring it to me darlin`)
I can`t wait, I can`t wait
Until the ship comes in
I can`t wait, I can`t wait
Starting up all over again
The errors of a wise man
Make the rules for a fool

What about now?
Forget about tomorrow
It`s too far away, it`s too far away
What about now
Don`t talk of yesterday
It`s too far away, it`s too far away

It`s all about now right now
Don`t break the spell, don`t break the spell
Don`t break the spell, don`t break the spell
It`s all about now right now, now right now, here right now
It`s all about now
All over by tomorrow
Don`t break the spell, don't break the spell....
