AS THE DAY GOES First of all I'll introduce the real thing You could not get enough You could not get enough until the next time Became the last time, that came too soon So here's to wishful thinking in the morning You must begin again You must begin again, sometimes you can take Much more than you choose Sometime when it's late and you've nothing left to lose In Olive street, take away the worries I'll shed a little tear for little worries And a simple twist of fate A simple twist of fate, and you wondered why As time went by, how it happened On a California sunrise we made a baby We knew each other well We knew our folly well Sometimes it's too late, and nature seals your grace Mistakes are often made when you've got everything to lose In Olive street they teach you to be careful So here's to wishful thinking and good fortune You must begin again You must begin again, sometimes you can fake Much more than you choose Sometimes when it's late and you've nothing left to lose In Olive street they take away the worries In Olive street they teach you to be careful In Olive street they take away the children (Written by Whipping Boy) To return to When We Were Young's Lyrics Index, click here.
