Pockets full of money that I saved and never spent
A shoebox full of letters that I wrote and never sent
Words of love and promises I thought but never said
Hoping that I wouldn't fall behind

Nights I wasted dreaming things that I forgot when I awoke
Journeys I had plotted out, but I never found the road
Running into strangers, never looking in their eyes
All the magic that we might have shared if not for my disguise
And still, I'm grateful to be alive, and waiting for the moment to arrive
Seize the moment when it comes
Seize the moment - it may be the only one
Seize the moment - don't you let it pass you by
You've gotta seize the moments of your life

I tried to say I love you but I was paralyzed
I wanted to find happiness but I lost it in your eyes
I waited far too many years before I realized
I have wasted all the best years of my life
Just waiting for the moment to arrive
Seize the moment when it comes
Seize the moment - it may be the only one
Seize the moment - don't you let it pass you by
You've gotta seize the moments of your life

Oh, what am I waiting for?
There is really nothing more than this precious moment
And all this love I have inside
Now it's time to let it shine, so let it shine, let it shine
Seize the moment when it comes
Seize the moment - it may be the only one
Seize the moment - don't you let it pass you by
You've gotta seize the moments of your life
