Now And Then Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

Now And Then Lyrics


    I think this time you've said enough to make me want to leave this place
    Still i keep coming back for more of the same to fan the dying flame
    Here inside these walls that seem to move a little closer every day
    There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
    Let us just pretend a while
    Think about the good things now and then
    I think this time that was the best time that we two had ever known
    We tried the handle of the house upon the shore and found the open door
    Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dances on the floor
    We were only playing like two children who had stayed away from school
    Two of us could not be wrong
    Heaven knows who keeps the golden rule

    I think this time we've learned enough to know that nothing is the same
    But still the pounding of my heart hasn't changed and leavin's so strange
    Here among my thoughts of you i find a gentle longing to be free
    There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
    Take away the in-between
    Think about the good things now and then
    We will see the day when you or i will stay or face up to the end
    Let us just pretend a while
    And think about the good things now and then
