Dress Rehearsal Lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

Days pass me by just like moments 

They're here and then 

They're gone for good, for good 

I work so hard at where I'm going 

I wonder what I've missed? 

I can't remember the last time 

I picked up the phone just 

To talk for hours on end 

Or sent a birthday card unbelated 

Maybe I should slow down 

Life doesn't wait for us to get it right 

Day after night 

It just goes on when it goes wrong 

It goes and then it's gone 

So, I'm gonna do my best 

To make the most of it, avoid regret, yeah 

Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible 

This ain't no dress rehearsal 

I've always got a big to-do list 

Oh, but there's so much more 

To do, to see, I want to know 

That I didn't leave, I love you's 

Trapped within my heart 

There won't always be another day to 

Say all the things, say all the things 

You wanna say, so don't, don't wait 

Wait for the perfect situation 

It will never come around 

Life doesn't wait for us to get it right 

Day after night 

It just goes on when it goes wrong 

It goes and then it's gone 

So, I'm gonna do my best 

To make the most of it, avoid regret, yeah 

Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible 

This ain't no dress rehearsal, yeah 

When the show is over 

And they lay me down 

I want to be remembered 

For the love I spread around 

Life doesn't wait for us to get it right 

Day after night 

It just goes on when it goes wrong 

It goes and then it's gone 

So, I'm gonna do my best 

To make the most of it, avoid regret, yeah 

Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible 

This ain't no dress rehearsal 

This ain't no dress rehearsal
