Lyrics
Time Is A Thief
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 woke up this morning and looked at my life
Filled with so much sorrow and grief
And in my troubled mind
I could see through all my strife
That time is only a thief
Yes time is a thief
That will steal your tomorrows
And leave you only yesterday
Yes time is a thief
That will rob you of your years
Your youth the only ransom you can pay
So treasure each little moment
Don't let a single minute slip away
Because time is a thief
That will rob you of your years
And never return one yesterday
Oh time is a thief
That will rob you of your years
And never return one yesterday
