Song: "We're Gonna Love It While It Lasts"
Album: "Cotton Patch Gospel" musical soundtrack
Artist: Music and lyrics by Harry Chapin
It's been a long, long time waiting you know
And a long, long road we had to go
While time flowed slow and fast
World kept going past
But I know I'm gonna love it while it lasts
It's been an old, old dream we've been dreaming each night
Hoping someday we'd see the light
Tried to imagine the sight
Praying we were doing it right
And then the day came up and now that dream shines bright
(We're gonna love it while it lasts)
We're gonna love it while it lasts
All the desperate days that we left behind
All the detours we took that we had to find
When fate had been unkind
We had to bide our time
But it was worth the wait, it don't matter, we feel fine
We're gonna love it while it lasts
