Don't Let It Pass You By

Days go past so slowly But months just run away Youth declares its death and bears maturity again Baby birds are leaving The nests their mothers made All around the summer fades to autumn's glory shade You can't stop the march of time The hue of your days has been defined But you know that life is lived right here in the moment So don't let it pass you by "Time is a dictator" Nina said it best Wrestle all you want but you'll still leave at its behest Winners become losers Lovers end up dead "The only thing that's certain", that's what everybody says You can't stop the march of time The hue of your days has been defined But you know that life is lived right here in the moment So don't let it pass you by I could fill up all my years With worrying and pointless fears And waste the precious seconds I have left But in between birth and ground Is where the gold of life is found So isn't losing worth the love you gain? Memory is fickle Well mine is not my friend Everything I love will be forgotten in the end But while I am still dreaming And breath is in my lungs I will grasp the nettle even though I might be stung You can't stop the march of time The hue of your days has been defined But you know that life is lived right here in the moment So don't let it pass you by You know that life is lived right here in the moment So don't let it pass you by
