Time to take life in stages Fireworks in July, pages turn I'm doing it my own way Until the year is done I will pray that Something sent you my way Take your coat off and stay for a little while I'll help you carry the load So you don't have to walk Down that same old road This is a new style of life Leaves fall in October, stages burn I'm doing it my own way As the winter brings cold I will pray that Something sent you my way Take your coat off and stay for a little while I'll help you carry the load So you don't have to walk Down that same old road I can't explain this to you I can't explain how I feel now Just don't run away Don't run away when I scream Time to take life in stages Fireworks in July, pages turn I'm doing it my own way Until the year is done I will pray that Something sent you my way Take your coat off and stay for a little while I'll help you carry the load So you don't have to walk Down that same old road That Same Old Road
