Lyrics
Time
c. King/Smith
1st.V.
Forty years of dedication
Daddy never missed a day
So they handed him a Timex
Threw a "thanks-a-lot" buffet,
Found a kid right out of high school
To take his job down on the line
Then, at five o'clock on Friday
Daddy punched out one last time:
Ch.
Time
We don't stop to think about it
Time
Something we can't live without
There's only so much that we're given
Enough to do a little livin'
How quickly it goes by
It's Time, it's all about Time.
2nd.V.
He always talked about vacations
Taking mom off on a cruise
But, today's became tomorrows
And, those plans went unused
Now, his mind is slowing fading
To a world he doesn't know
Can't remember names or faces
The girl he married years ago:
Ch.
Time
We don't stop to think about it
Time
Something we can't live without
There's only so much that we're given
Enough to do a little livin'
How quickly it goes by
It's Time, it's all about Time.
Bridge:
I came across that old Timex
In daddy's dresser drawer
And, it made me stop and wonder
'bout the things I'm working for
I can move the hands around
Make the days disappear
But, I can't, no I can't
I can't rewind the years:
Ch. repeat.
