Good times are now Lyrics

Across the street your smile broke
Like a wave upon my face
You didn't notice me at all
Across the street I saw you
With some other pretty face
I loved you then I love you now
I loved you then I love you now
I had to take a chance
Cos special moments only tend
To happen now and then
I had to take my chance and
Grab the moment by its ears
Not be just some fly on your wall
Had to take my chance there
So I asked you out to dance there
I loved you then I love you now
I loved you then I love you now
I had to take a chance
Cos special moments only tend
to happen now and then
Live for the present
It's the only one we have
Nobody gets out of here...... alive
Life in the future might never come to pass
You know -- the good times are now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Across the street your smile broke Like a wave upon my face"

I love this line, it's subtle, yet effective.

Fun in Space is a brilliant album
