[Instrumental: Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Organ, Bass, Drums]<\/p>\n
[Intro]
\nThe years go by
\n(… clouds keep passing across the sky)<\/p>\n
Moments fade
\n(Have you stopped to wonder why)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nYesterday seems not so long ago
\n(Where did all the seasons go)
\nPictures hanging on the wall
\n(Remind us how Old Man Time will call)<\/p>\n
Children grow and rivers change
\n(Some things stay, some rearrange)
\nThe future waits beyond our eyes
\n(And every day another sunrise)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nBefore we say our goodbyes
\n(Let’s look out on our future)
\nBecause you know… time flies
\n(Let’s be sure to endure)<\/p>\n
Before we turn and walk away
\n(Let’s think about tomorrow)
\nBecause the choices made today
\n(Can lessen future sorrow)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nThe forests whisper in the breeze
\n(Messages carried through the trees)
\nThe oceans rise inch by inch
\n(A warning hidden in the pinch)<\/p>\n
Storms grow stronger, summers long
\n(Teaching us where we belong)
\nAn action leaves a trace
\n(Footprint all over the place)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nBefore we say our goodbyes
\n(Let’s look out on our future)
\nBecause you know… time flies
\n(Let’s be sure to endure)<\/p>\n
Before we turn and walk away
\n(Let’s think about tomorrow)
\nBecause the choices made today
\n(Can lessen future sorrow)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nTime flies
\n(Faster than we realize)
\nThe years pass by
\n(Before our very eyes)<\/p>\n
What’s ahead
\n(Depends on what we do)
\nThe future’s not yet written
\n(It’s still partly up to you)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Piano Solo]
\n[Organ Swells]<\/p>\n
[Verse 3]
\nOne day grandchildren may ask
\n(What became our greatest task)
\nDid we see what lay ahead
\n(Or ignore the words once said)<\/p>\n
Did we leave a world of grace
\n(Or simply drift from place to place)
\nThe answer waits in what we choose
\n(In what we save and what we lose)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nBefore we say our goodbyes
\n(Let’s look out on our future)
\nBecause you know… time flies
\n(Let’s be sure to endure)<\/p>\n
Before we turn and walk away
\n(Let’s think about tomorrow)
\nBecause the choices made today
\n(Can lessen future sorrow)<\/p>\n
Before we say our goodbyes
\n(Let’s leave something worth remembering)
\nBecause you know… time flies
\n(And every moment matters)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nThe clock moves on
\n(But hope remains)
\nThe future calls
\n(Through joy and pains)<\/p>\n
Time flies
\n(That’s no surprise)<\/p>\n
Let’s make the most
\n(Before all is lost)<\/p>\n
[Silence]<\/p>\n
