El paso del tiempo

"Dreams For Plans"

Once upon a time you and I
When we were green and easy
Fresh as limes and happy as a Sunday sky
There was nothing we could sell or buy
'Cause all we really needed
Was our bare feet and a pair of wings to fly

What do you think, darling?          - Qué es lo que piensas, cariño
Have we lived too much, too fast?   - ¿Hemos vivido demasiado rápido?
And have you                               - Y has sentido la melancolía, cariño
Have you felt melancholy, darling   - Deseando que el tiempo no hubiera pasado
Wishing that time hadn't passed?   - (tan rápido)

Can you tell me how it used to be?
Have we missed our chance?
Have we changed our hopes for fears
And our dreams for plans?

Can you tell me how it used to be
When we really cared?
And when time was on our side
On our side...

I remember all the times before
When we could spend our living
Staring at the ceiling, lying on the floor
My vocabulary wasn't broad
I spoke so little English
That the word "stress" would
Sound like something odd

What do you think, darling?
Have I lived too much, too fast?
And have you
Have you felt the melancholy, darling
Wishing that time hadn't passed?

Can you tell me how it used to be?
Have we missed our chance?
Have we changed our hopes for fears
And our dreams for plans?
Can you tell me how it used to be
When we really cared?
And when time was on our side
On our side...

What is your guess, darling?                    - Cuál es tu opinión, cariño
Have I lived too much, too fast?             - ¿Hemos vivido demasiado rápido?
So if you                                               - Así que si llegas
If you ever come and find me crying         - y me encuentras llorando
Now you know                                      - ahora ya sabes
Now you know why                                - ahora ya sabes por qué

Can you tell me how I used to be?
Have I missed my chance?
Have I changed my hopes for fears
And my dreams for plans?
Can you tell me how it used to be
When we really cared?
And when time was on our side
On our side...
