You don&#039;t stop laughing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop laughing. and<br /> Don&#039;t tell me the sky&#039;s the limit when there&#039;s footprints on the moon. and<br /> Sometimes the heart does things for reasons that reason cannot understand.

You say one day we'll get away from it all
Finally it'll just be us and no worries
But that day is so far away
And every step forward seems to put me 2 steps back
An endless path with no end
A winding journey that I'll never complete
Every time I feel closer to the finish line
It moves on
It's like trying to find the end of a rainbow
It lies somewhere
But every time you near it
It seems to disappear
Or seem further on
It's always there
But never in reach
Always on the horizon
But you can't touch the horizon
Like reaching for a star
You know is too far away
You say one day we'll have it all
But it's all so far away
