TIME, PRECIOUS TIME

Why do the days of love
Seem to go so fast?
Why do they end
When you’re certain they will last?
Oh how the minutes fly
When love is fresh and young
And how I wish those time swith you
Had just begun.
When you’re all alone
The moments go so slow
When faded dreams and lonely nights
Are all you know.
Oh wheel of time
Somehow I wish I could turn
You back to when
The flame of love still burned.
Time, you treat the saints and sinners
Just the same.
You play no favorites
In your everlasting game
A million hearts can break
Upon your random shore
But you won’t change a thing
You’ll go on like before.
Time, precious time
Where have you gone?
Please take me back
To yesterday’s sweet song.
Don’t leave me standing in the rain.
Time,
Please take me back to love again.
Time,
Precious time,
Where have you gone?
