I used to think I was a bigshot 我曾经以为我是一个bigshot

Thought I had it all but guess what 以为我拥有了一切，但你猜怎么着

Can't measure life by the things you got 不能用你得到的东西衡量生活

In the end it all ends up to nothing 在结束这一切最终不了了之

I swear I missed so many birthdays 我发誓，我错过了那么多的生日

Valentines, hallowe'ens and anniversaries 情人节， hallowe'ens和纪念日

Left me lonesome in the worst ways 留给我的寂寞在最坏的方式

But mister I learned something 但老总我学到的东西

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

You can't buy back the moments that matter 你可以不买回来说事的时刻

You can't buy back the moments that matter 你可以不买回来说事的时刻

There's a big pot of gold at the top of the ladder 有黄金，梯子的顶端一大锅

But you can't buy back the moments that matter 但你不能买回来说事的时刻

Gonna play some football in the backyard 会玩一些足球后院

Teach my nephew how to play the guitar 教给我的侄子怎么弹吉他

Call up some old friends and play some cards 调出一些老朋友和玩一些卡

Waste a few Saturday evenings 浪费了几个周六晚上

Gonna take my wife out dancing 要带我老婆出去跳舞

Every now and then without her asking 时不时地，没有她的要价

Spin her around singing and laughing 旋她身边欢歌与笑语

There's memories we should be making 还有就是我们应该做的回忆

[Chorus] [合唱]

All this talk about the good life 所有这一切都谈好生活

Makes me realize I got a great life 让我意识到我有一个伟大的生命

Gotta keep my priorities in sight 我要坚持我的视线优先

You just get one time around 你只要避开一次

[Chorus] [合唱]

You can't buy back the moments that matter 你可以不买回来说事的时刻

You can't buy back the moments that matter 你可以不买回来说事的时刻

Years pass you buy and the days start to scatter 几年过去了，你买，日子开始分散

But you can't buy back the moments that matter 但你不能买回来说事的时刻
