lyrics

A new born baby is free from fear or harm,
The world is all ahead, you hold it in your arms,

Joyful circles turning the sands of time,
Seizing every day, bathing as you shine,

You know you don’t seem to say it at the time,
How the years are flying by,
Gone in the blink of an eye,
The years are flying by,

Endless planning until you make the cradle sway,
Protecting you from harm, balancing the weight,

Soulful searching hoping that you’ve done enough,
Glorious days are hard to give up,

You know we don’t seem to say it at the time,
How the years are flying by,
Gone in the blink of an eye,
The years are flying by,

And I’ve learned how time can you put you in a poll position,
And how your circumstances can offer you a second chance,

But we don’t seem to say it at the time,
How the years are flying by,
Gone in the blink of an eye,
The years are flying, the years are flying, the years are flying by.
