They say that time flies when you’re having too much fun,
Count the days and wonder where they go.
Even in the worst of times when nothing’s getting done,
It don’t seem that time moves all that slow.
I’m getting older, Father Time taps on my shoulder,
Seems to me it’s just a state of mind.
I’m moving on, but sometimes I take too long,
Looking back at all that wasted time.
Gone away, here for a moment and then
Gone away, never coming back again.
As long as I breathe, I’m still young,
and I believe the best is yet to come.
I think about the friends and lovers that I’ve known,
Some are gone but many still remain.
Every single one has had a hand in how I’ve grown,
They’re all part of the man that I became.
Living in the past don’t make a life that will stand fast,
but it’s okay to look back for a while.
Miss the ones who’ve gone, and in their honor, carry on,
Take the part of each that makes me smile.
Gone away, here for a moment and then
Gone away, never coming back again.
As long as I breathe, I’m still young,
and I believe the best is yet to come.
I’ll stand up to the morning and face the day head on,
I’ll shine in the sunrise, yesterday is dead and gone.
I’m a man of few regrets, I’ll learn from them and go on,
while I’ve got time to make up for the things that did go wrong...
They say that time flies when you’re having too much fun,
I’ve come to believe that isn’t so.
I believe that time cries out for living in the sun,
I’ll make the most of it before I go.
We’re not here forever, comes a time when ties are severed,
It’s what we do that counts, not how we try.
We must take the reins, for whatever time remains,
and leave a smile when it’s our time to fly.
Gone away, here for a moment and then
Gone away, never coming back again.
As long as I breathe, I’m still young,
and I believe the best is yet to come.
