Good times they come and they go Never going to know What fate is going to blow Your way just hope that it feels right Sometimes it comes and it goes You take it ever so slow And then you lose it Then it flows right to you So we rely on the past Special moments that last Were they as tender As we dare to remember Such a fine time as this What could equal the bliss The thrill of the first kiss It'll blow right to you It's never as good as the first time Never as good as the first time Good times they come and they go Never going to know It's like the weather One day chicken next day feathers The rose we remember The thorns we forget We'd love and leave We never spend a minute on regret It is a possibility, the more we know the less we see Second time, is not quite what it seems Natural as the way we came to be The second time, won't live up to the dream It's never as good as the first time Never as good as the first time Natural as the way we came to be Second time won't live up to the dream Natural as the way we came to be Second time is not quite what it seemed It's never as good as the first time As the first time, the first time Natural as the way we came to be Second time won't live up to the dream Natural as the way we came to be Second time is not quite what it seemed It's never as good as the first time As the first time, the first time
