Music by Richard Marx Lyrics by Fee Waybill With another day another life slips away And floats above the crowd You can only stay ahead of time when time co-operates Instead of heading south Cards are dealt You play what you hold You can't tell me the story's been told It's too early to be over And it's way past when It could be starting again It's too early to be over Good hearted Joe is the last one to know Run down run around biting my tongue Hardly my sad tale But the rolling in and steppin' out Nothing but fun I finally had to bail Nothing worse than trying too hard This ain't this fool's first walk in the park It's too early to be over I don't feel a thing from the bone to the skin It's too early to be over Good hearted Joe is the last one to know Somewhere out there it all evens out So they would have you believe But that don't get me That won't set me free It's too early to be over And it's way past when it could be starting over It's too early to be over Always the fave but I already gave It's too early to be over Don't feel a thing from the bone to the skin It's too early to be over Good hearted Joe is the last one to know
