Lyrics
(It’s) Time
c. 2003 Silver Kat Music, BMI & Target Top Ten, BMI
Glen King, Patricia Smith & David Brooks
1st. Verse: Forty years of dedication
Daddy never missed a day,
So, they handed him a Timex
Held a thanks-a-lot buffet,
Found a kid right out of high school
To take his job down on the line
Then, at five p.m.on friday
Daddy clocked out one last time:
Chorus: Its’ Time
We don’t stop to think about,
It’s Time,
Something we can’t live without,
There’s only so much
That we’re given.
Enough to do
A little livin’,
How quickly it goes by,
It’s Time, It’s all about time.
2nd. Verse:
He always talked about vacations
Taking mom off on a cruise
But, todays became tomorrows
Those plans just went unused,
Now, his mind is slowly fading
Into a world he doesn’t know,
Can’t remember names or faces
Or, the girl he married years ago:
Chorus: Repeat.
Bridge:
I came across that old timex
In daddy’s dresser drawer
And it made me stop and wonder
Bout the things working for,
I can move the hands around
Make the days disappear,
But, I can’t, no I can’t
I can’t rewind the years:
Chorus: Repeat.
