[RITA HANSON]
Sometimes, it's like I'm stumbling forward
Hustled forward
Jostled from behind by time
Sometimes, it's like I'm being dragged
Yet always lagging
Trying to keep in time with time
But if I could stop the clock for just one day
If I could freeze a moment for a moment
Rest before the measure's over
Hold the beat for just one day
If I could wind it back and start afresh
Just a day to catch my breath
To make mistakes and set them right
Delay the coming of the night
If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
They say, but that's insane
Wouldn't you want to make a couple of changes?
Regrets, I'd not even have a few
If I could do this thing that you
Say you can do.
I've always dreamt of learning how to dance
[PHIL CONNORS]
Some days I go out without pants
[RITA]
It's so exciting
[PHIL]
I slept with ninety
[RITA]
A new beginning
[PHIL]
Percent of women
[RITA]
Every morning
[PHIL]
In Punxsutawney
[RITA]
To have the time to strive for more
[PHIL]
Between eighteen and eighty-four
And one dude when I was bored
[RITA]
If I had my time again
I'd take the path less trodden
Avoid the crap I trod in
Read a lot of books
[PHIL]
I've stolen eighteen million bucks
[RITA]
And I would worry less about my nose looks
[PHIL]
And I guess I'll do it again
[RITA]
And I would be a lot more zen
[PHIL]
When
[RITA]
And I would punch
[PHIL]
I
[RITA]
A lot of men
[PHIL]
Had
[RITA]
If I had
[RITA & PHIL]
My time again
[RITA]
If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
They claim, that that's ridiculous
Surely you'd want to make a couple of fixes?
All those boxes left unchecked
All the dreams you left neglected
You'd go back and put it right
I've always fancied learning how to climb
[PHIL]
I once masturbated seven times
[RITA]
I'd study math
[PHIL]
In the bath
[RITA]
And search for meaning
[PHIL]
In one evening
[RITA]
And I'd run up hills
[PHIL]
It wasn't fun, but still
[RITA]
I'd learn to paint
[PHIL]
A man my age [RITA]
Just to know [PHIL]
It's nice to know [RITA & PHIL]
I can
[PHIL]
It's nice to know I can
[RITA]
If I had my time again
I'd sample all the samples
Look at things from different angles
I would not do it all the same
If I had my time again
[RITA & ENSEMBLE]
If I had my time again
[RITA]
The things I'd handle better
I would send my unsent letters
[PHIL]
I've started seven hundred fights
[RITA]
If I had my time back
[PHIL]
And if you knew the endless nights
That I have wasted getting wasted
Contemplating different ways to suicide
[RITA]
I would write and I would write
[PHIL]
And I have tried every food and every drink and every cheat [RITA]
And I would add joy to other people's lives
And I would learn piano
And I would make a lot of friends
If I had my time [PHIL]
And every choice a thousand times
And I daily eat about a dozen donuts and I don't know why
And I don't know... why? [RITA & COMPANY]
If I had my time again [RITA]
I'd open all the doors I've never looked behind
And oh, the thing I'd taste, the things I'd try
And the misery I could prevent
And I will make a lot of friends
If I had my time
Again [PHIL]
I've opened all the doors I'd never looked behind
And oh I
I find the thing with these revolving rhymes
They're only fun cause you know they're going to end
Again, I have had it, I have had my time again
