Good Thing Going/Growing Up - Stephen Sondheim & Michael Winther

It started out like a song We started quiet and slow with no surprise Then one morning, I woke to realize We have a good thing going It's not that nothing went wrong Some angry moment of course but just a few And only moments No more because we knew We had a good thing going And if I wanted too much Was that such a mistake? At the time You never wanted enough Okay, tough I don't make that a crime And while it's going along You take for granted Some love will wear away We took for granted a lot And still I say It could have kept on growing Instead of just kept on We had a good thing going, going, gone And if I wanted too much, was that such a mistake? At the time you never wanted enough Okay tough, I don't make that a crime And while it's going along, you take for granted some love will wear away We took for granted a lot, and still I say, it could have kept on going Instead of just kept on, we had a good thing going, going, gone

One last suitcase full of things She's heading to her momma's place in Boston Nothing left for me to say Too late to fix anything with talking Now the best thing in my life Just told me goodbye Guess you don't know what you got until it's walking out the door The one thing that was a sure thing sure ain't anymore What I had ain't coming back the way her wheels are rolling I used to have a good thing going on Now I just got a good thing going I'm the one to blame I guess Counting on too many second chances Tail lights got a funny way Of shedding light on things you take for granted Don't know how I let it happen Guess you don't know what you got until it's walking out the door The one thing that was a sure thing sure ain't anymore What I had ain't coming back the way her wheels are rolling I used to have a good thing going on Now I just got a good thing going There she goes picking up speed I'll be playing back this moment In slow motion My good thing going No you don't know what you got until it's walking out the door The one thing that was a sure thing sure ain't anymore What I had ain't coming back the way her wheels are rolling I used to have a good thing going on Now I just got a good thing going
