If you foolishly spend your money,
you can always earn some more.
If you happen to melt your sundae,
there's plenty more at the store.
If you happen to wreck your bike,
you can get one just alike.
Carelessly drop your candy bar?
The candy store's not very far.
But when you're old and look to the past,
wondering how it went so fast,
You realize all things you waste,
that of time you can never replace.
Not Wasting Time In Life
The Irreplaceable
