A baby’s born, a momma cries She sees a glimpse of his daddy there in his eyes Take him home and watch him sleep Stand and wonder who he’s gonna be
Then its tonka trucks and baseball gloves Then his first kiss and his first love Oh, the innocence just don’t last Our dreams and our future go by so fast
Mountains move and rivers run Shadows fall with the setting sun Thunder rolls and lightning strikes The darkness covers the swallows of the light
And time flies
An old man sits alone Trying hard to remember but his memory’s gone Up on the wall trapped under glass inside a frame Hangs a picture of a couple on their wedding See through his eyes the world looks gray His life was full of colour But colours fade away
Mountains move and rivers run Shadows fall with the setting sun Thunder rolls and lightning strikes The darkness covers the swallows of the light
And time flies
We all laugh and we all cry We all live and we all die But through it all and in between
Time flies Time flies Time flies Time flies
