WHEN YOU LOOK AWAY

[Verse 1:] I had a beautiful life and a nice suburban home I had most of the luxuries others dream to own I had a job in the city with power and success My friends thought I had it all; the very best But looks are deceiving they say I thought I had control, but it was slipping away [Chorus:] You can’t have it all for nothing The simple truth is, there’s a price to pay You’ve got to keep your eyes on what’s important Cause life goes by when you look away [Verse 2:] My Mary was feeling lonely Longing for romance All she needed was my time and the passion we once had But I was busy making money, to occupied to see That the love of my life was leaving me The truth can be painful they say In danger of losing Mary I realized that day [Chorus:] You can’t have it all for nothing The simple truth is, there’s a price to pay You’ve got to keep your eyes on what’s important Cause life goes by when you look away [Bridge:] All the money in the world can’t buy happiness And the love of a woman knows no price I’d rather live a hundred years without a cent Than to live a single day without Mary in my life [Chorus:] No, You can’t have it all for nothing The simple truth is, there’s a price to pay You’ve got to keep your eyes on what’s important Cause life goes by when you look away When you look away… [Repeat Chorus:] No, You can’t have it all for nothing The simple truth is, there’s a price to pay You’ve got to keep your eyes on what’s important Cause life goes by when you look away When you look away… [Outro] You’ve got to keep your eyes on what’s important Cause life goes by when you look away [End]
