Slip On By

Early morning by the riverside

Saw an old man waiting for a bite

We started talking and he took me back in time

He said, "I was young and thought I'd always be

Then I woke up now I'm 83

There's so much I missed

Oh, how I wish I could get back all that time I wasted"

I see the tears of a young bride

The morning that we had our first fight

I should've held her tight

And on the day that my momma died

I hung up the phone and never said goodbye

Don't let it slip on

Don't let it slip on

Don't let it slip on by

Well he looked up with tears in his eyes

Said, "I'm not sure if you were looking for advice

There's just something about you

That reminds me of me

It ain't easy always looking back

But it seems these days that it's all I have

And what hurts me the most is knowing what could have been

And if I listen real close sometimes I can"

Hear the sound of my little boy saying

Daddy, can you come play with me?

But I was too busy

Then one day my baby grew up and went to war

I never thought he'd be gone in the blink of an eye

Don't let it slip on

Don't let it slip on

Don't let it slip on by

I shook the old man's hand and I thanked him

And I drove home as fast as I could go

Just to let her know

That I need her

That I love her

That I'm never gonna let another moment like this slip on by

Don't let it slip on by

Ow, no, slip on by

We're only here for a little while

And God gives us only so much precious time

Don't let it slip on

Don't let it slip on

Don't let it slip on by

Hmm, slip on by
