Time goes by
The sun rises as another sun sets
Dreams will be born
Lives will be torn
Life, full of joy, full of sorrow
All in hope for a better tomorrow
Minutes go by, watching hours turn to days
Minutes go by, many months, many Mays
A baby is born
Quick, dress him up, send him to school
Before you know it, he’ll learn the golden rule
He’ll soon grow strong, healthy and wise
Raise many kids, maybe one or two wives
Off to work and don’t be late
You have to work hard, you have to be great
Run over here, run over there
Look at your silver and now thinning hair
Where did it go?
You want to know
As life deals you yet another blow
In your final breath
In the face of death
Time, (You whisper)
Please stop…
Time goes by
