lyrics

I know it's asking for a lot
to turn back the clock
and let me start over again
It's crazy and it's vain
to think that I've changed
or that I'd do much better now

So I won't ask you to go back
go back in time
the future's what I had in mind
There's beauty in this world
for us still to find
upon this brand new day

They say each moment in time
is precious somehow
so we'd might as well drink
the sacrament of now
see where it takes us
That every moment in time
can bless you somehow
if you let your teeth sink
into the sacrament of now
No need to start over and over again.

Now these days are moving slow
with nowhere to go
and everyone keeping their distance
The world's been in a spin
Love, where you been?
Seems my heart has built no resistance to you
If we ever make it through
won't you please come and find me
Meanwhile I got all these gurus and these preachers
that just love to remind me

That each moment in time
is precious somehow
so we'd might as well drink
the sacrament of now
see where it takes us
If every moment in time
can bless you somehow
gotta let your teeth sink
into the sacrament of now
There's no need to start over and over,
over and over again
No need to start over and over again

No need to start over
No need to start over
again

Yeah they tell me every moment in time
is precious somehow
so we'd might as well drink
the sacrament of now
We'll see where it takes us
If every moment in time
can bless you somehow
gotta let your teeth sink
into the sacrament of now
No need to start over and over again.
