Lyrics
When I was a little boy
Playing by the sea
I stood before my castle
Right in front of me
The tide was coming in
My mother tried to tell me
It wouldn't last forever
Time is what befell me
As it does for everyone
Time keeps ticking away
When I was a younger man
A girl I came to see
I gave to her a promise
It meant the world to me
That's why I was shattered
When she broke my heart
In time I did recover
Time began to heal me
As it does for everyone
Time keeps ticking away
Time is a magic
Sometimes it moves so slow
If you try to hold it
The faster it will go
Time's full of moments
They're all we know
When I held my little boy
And he looked up at me
I knew it was a moment
Time had ceased to be
As it does for everyone
For everyone
Time is here to stay
For everyone
Time is ticking away...
