Lyrics
Chorus:
Enjoy the step you're in, for this one can't last forever.
Enjoy the step you're in, for the next may come too fast.
Enjoy the step you're in and while it may not last forever,
if you enjoy the step that you're in, it might make the next that much better.
You think you got it covered and you know just what to expect out of tomorrow, but you'll find that its all gonna change soon.
You wake up in the mornin' and the sun it isn't shinin', takes a moment to realize that its the moon that is burnin'.
You're morning cup of coffee don't taste quite right
and tomorrow's newspaper says you're gonna die tonight.
So you crawl back into your bed, just to cry
when the love of your life looks over and smiles and says baby, its gonna be alright.
Chorus
You say, c'mon let's grab some lunch. She says, maybe we'll make it brunch, we're runnin' kind on time as she looks at the paper.
You call a cab to getcha there, the phone lines are down everywhere, the plans have changed she says, maybe we'll make it a picnic.
Baby, I am yours and you are mine.
As the world starts to crumble, its about a quarter to nine.
But you walk hand-in-hand and you're both feelin' fine.
And you look in her eyes and say, baby, its gonna be alright...
If you enjoy this step
