Christopher Cross

Words and music by Christopher Cross and Rob Meurer

Lost in the future
Worried about the past
Willful and lazy
Pedaling nowhere fast

She works her wonders
Keeping me in today
Reaching through my darkness
Reminding me how to play

And she says
Save your sadness for the bad times
Time is not your enemy
Save your sadness for the bad times
For now you are with me

Nothing is certain
Certainly nothing new
Hoping some light shines
On us before we're through

She spends her heartbeats
Seeing the best in you
As I learn my mind the more I find
The things she says are true

You live gracefully
Having faith in me

She says
Save your sadness for the bad times
Time is not your enemy
Save your sadness for the bad times
For now
Save your sadness for the bad times
For now you are with me
