Lyrics

Days may come and days may go
Funny how the children grow so fast
Nothing can last
Always try, and try we will
Nothing ever standing still for long
Is it all wrong?

Time, tell me where you've flown
Wind where have you blown
Taking us along
And changing as you go
Everything we know
Like the rivers flow
What have we to show

Ready to spread your wings and fly away
It doesn't seem right somehow
I know you're older now
And why do we need tomorrow here today?
Haven't the years been kind
Did we get left behind

Once a house and then a home
Overnight the kids have gone somehow
Just look at them now
They want it all and just can't wait
One more day could be too late for sure
Finding the door
World, so much more to see
Always young and free
Keep me company
The places in your mind
You may never find
Still you've got to try
Your chances passing by

Oh, ready to spread your wings and fly away
It doesn't seem right somehow
I know you're older now
And why do we need tomorrow here today
Haven't the years been kind
Did we get left behind?

World, so much more to see
Always young and free
Keep me company
The places in your mind
You may never find
Still you've got to try
Your chances passing by

Oh, ready to spread your wings and fly away
Doesn't seem right somehow
I know you're older now
And why do we need tomorrow here today
Haven't the years been kind
Did we get left behind?
