Mama's looking at her baby fast asleep
Pulls him close, feels him breathe
She knows that he's gonna go away some day
Breaks her heart life's that way
She's tryin' to hold back time
Tryin' to hold back time
Tryin' to hold back time
Tryin' to hold back time
Tries to hide the lines on her face
Just a girl yesterday
She's smart enough to know the years are gonna pass
She don't mind, but not so fast
She's tryin' to hold back time
Tryin' to hold back time
Tryin' to hold back time
Tryin' to hold back time
It's like tryin' to hold water in your hand
Slippin' through your fingers drippin' on the sand
It's just a waste of time, you're gonna find it's kinda like
Tryin' to hold back time
Tryin' to hold back time
Tryin' to hold back time
Tryin' to hold back time
