verse 1 It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast, 1) and I had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last 1) But when you're born to run it's so hard to just slow down, 1) so don't be surprised to see me back in that bright part of town Chorus I'll (We’ll) be back in the high life again, all the doors I (we) closed one time, will open up again I'll (We’ll) be back in the high life again, all the eyes that watched me (us) once, will smile and take me (us) in And I'll (We’ll) drink and dance with one hand free; let the world back into me (us), and oh I'll (we’ll) be a sight to see; back in the high life again Instrumental 3x verse 2 You used to be the best to make life be life to me, and I hope that you're still out there and you're like you used to be We'll have ourselves a time and we'll dance ‘till the morning sun, and we'll let the good times come in and we won't stop ‘till we're done Chorus I'll (We’ll) be back in the high life again, all the doors I (we) closed one time, will open up again I'll (We’ll) be back in the high life again, all the eyes that watched me (us) once, will smile and take me (us) in And I'll (We’ll) drink and dance with one hand free; let the world back into me (us), and oh I'll (we’ll) be a sight to see; back in the high life again can repeat Chorus again Instrumental 3x
