Days may come and days may go,
|
Funny how the children grow so fast
|
Nothing can last,
|
Always try, and try we will,
|
Nothing ever standing still for long,
|
Is it all wrong?
|
|
Time, tell me where you've flown,
|
Wind where have you blown,
|
Taking us along,
|
And changing as you go,
|
Everything we know,
|
Like the rivers flow,
|
What have we to show.
|
|
Ready to spread your wings and fly away,
|
It doesn't seem right somehow,
|
I know you're older now,
|
And why do we need tomorrow here today?
|
Haven't the years been kind,
|
Did we get left behind
|
|
Once a house and then a home,
|
Overnight the kids have gone somehow,
|
Just look at them now.
|
They want it all and just can't wait,
|
One more day could be too late for sure,
|
Finding the door.
|
World, so much more to see
|
Always young and free,
|
Keep me company.
|
The places in your mind,
|
You may never find,
|
Still you've got to try,
|
Your chances passing by.
|
|
Oh, ready to spread your wings and fly away,
|
It doesn't seem right somehow,
|
I know you're older now.
|
And why do we need tomorrow here today
|
Haven't the years been kind,
|
Did we get left behind?
|
|
World, so much more to see,
|
Always young and free,
|
Keep me company,
|
The places in your mind,
|
You may never find,
|
Still you've got to try,
|
Your chances passing by.
|
|
Oh, ready to spread your wings and fly away,
|
Doesn't seem right somehow,
|
I know you're older now.

And why do we need tomorrow here today

Haven't the years been kind,
|
Did we get left behind?
