as the years go by

As the years go by

Passing like clock work

Keeping the records

Leaving behind the memories

Someday we hope

We will look back and see

As the years go by

We have too many things to say

Things we haven't finished

The prayers aren't done

The promises still playing catch up

The time just doesn't wait

The time we feel sorry

Age has grown up the ladder

We can't even climb up anymore

As the years go by

We look at the young

The promising years ahead

Yet we cry the blue

Some may not live to see

As the years go by

Passing like clock work

Age has grown up the ladder

Leaving behind the memories
