I asked a million questions, you looked so surprised   Forgot a million things that I had memorized   Yes, but I confess, I never dreamed   I had done my best or so it seemed      Take the time to waste a thousand years   Touch the face and wipe away the tears   Speak the truth and break the heart that bleeds   Stab the back and bite the hand that feeds      Think of things that made you cry when you were young   Realize at last your life has just begun   Think of lonely places far away   I'm sorry but I don't know what to say to you      Take the time to waste a thousand years   Touch the face and wipe away the tears   Speak the truth and break the heart that bleeds   Stab the back and bite the hand that feeds      Close your eyes remember me from long ago   Never say a word no one will ever know   Think of life the way it was before   Imagine what the future has in store for you      Take the time to waste a thousand years   Touch the face and wipe away the tears   Speak the truth and break the heart that bleeds   Stab the back and bite the hand that feeds
