Watching The Time Go By

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was a child in the '60s

So unsure of my direction

I would follow where my friends and family would lead

I was strengthened

When I first heard the music

Sparked by inspiration

I was scarred by the pain

Of constant departures

I was wounded severely

At an early age

But my hopes hung high

On the thought of the future

I was happy to watch

The time go by

Eye to eye

Watching the time go by

Watching the time go by

Day for night

Watching the time go by

And then the world changed

There was hope in the distance

Til it raced up around us

And proceeded to shine

Like the moonlight

Full of reckless abandon

We would reach for the stars

'Cause there was room at the top

And food on the table

We were doing quite well

At such an early stage

There was no need to stop

Nor were we able

And no one could see

The time go by

Eye to eye

Watching the time go by

Watching the time go by

Day for night

Watching the time go by

There are moments I regret more than the rest

There are days I can't recall at all

Looking back now, there's not much that I would change

I am happy to watch

The time go by

Eye to eye

Watching the time go by

Watching the time go by

Eye to eye

Watching the time go by

Watching the time go by

Day for night

Watching the time go by

Watching the time go by

Why, oh why

Watching the time go by
