How Long

Greg:
Some people talk about forever
Like it's a time that never comes, hey
But just like days we thought would last
Time goes by so fast, tomorrow's come and gone

Margaret:
Our life's a treasure that we're given
And every hour is ours to spend, oh...
But, every moment that we waste
Can never be replaced and never comes again

Greg:
We get so caught up in the future
That we don't take the time to live today

(Both)
And how long does it take to love each other
To believe with every day, there's a difference we can make
How long will it take to start all over
If we finally realize we've been wasting so much time

Greg:
What matters most is hard to measure, yeah
With not beginning and no end, hey

Margaret:
And we often come so close
But we never even know
That we hold it in our hands, yeah
(Oh-oh-oh...)

Greg:
We get so caught up in the future
(Oh, yeah)
That we don't take the time to live today
(Oh, we don't take the time)

(Both)
And how long does it take to love each other
To believe with every day, there's a difference we can make
How long will it take to start all over
If we finally realize we've been wasting so much time

And how long does it take to love each other
Greg: to believe with ever day
Margaret: there's a difference we can make
And how long will it take to start all over
Greg: if we finally realize
Margaret: we've been wasting so much time

Margaret:
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Greg:
How long

Margaret:
Oh, whoa, whoa...

Greg:
Hey, oh-oh, oh-oh...
