lyrics

When the FOBs formed, the dotcom boom hadn’t yet become a bubble but the internet had arrived, and we were part of a community that was changing the world in ways that we could only imagine as good. In this song, Roger perfectly captures the spirit of the era. Words and music by Roger McNamee.

When we met so long ago, we each had plans for the future
Our plans fit together so neatly, so naturally
When it's a happy dream you share you make it work without a care
Stuff you must achieve, you work cause you believe that it will
all come together in the land of happy endings

When I look into your eyes,, I wonder how I fly away
When I look into your eyes, I wonder why i'd fly again
When I look into your eyes, i see my reflection
When you smile I can feel unlimited affection
I know now for certain I'm the happiest man alive

It's time to harvest what we've sown
To live the life we've always postponed
It's so hard to let go, now we both know,
the time has come to live for ourselves

When I look into your eyes, I remember why I fell in love
When I see your smile I remember why I'm still in love
When i spend the night with you there's magic through and through
Why don't we seize the day give up our jobs go out and play
There's still time to move to the land of happy endings

As i travel near and far, I know that time marches on
As I look up at the stars, I see how brief our time will be
But when I hold you in my arms and we focus on each other
As long as we're together time slows down and lasts forever
Here we are, you and I, in the land of happy endings

It's time to harvest what we've sown
To live the life we've always postponed
It's so hard to let go, now we both know,
the time has come to live for ourselves
It's so hard to let go, now we both know,
the time has come to live for ourselves
