Paul

Changing my paces, I'm changing my style Things that went quicker now take me a while But I try to accept with a wink and a smile That I'll go on believing in time Taken aback by these current events The pills that I've tried and the money I've spent But still I'm enjoying the life I've been lent And I go on believing in time Time to reach out and make my amends So many phone calls, and letters to send Time to get better, stay here with my friends Or see this thing through to the end Doctors and specialists searching for cures Cure one infection, there's so many more But someday they'll find it, they think that they're sure So I go on believing in time Counting the days, sweating the nights Wishing for chances to get things just right I wish that I may and I wish that I might Just go on believing in time Time to reach out and make my amends So many phone calls, and letters to send Time to get better, stay here with my friends Or see this thing through to the end Now the carriage is coming, it's well on its way How close has it come? Maybe weeks, maybe days How strange now to realize I'm fading away That this is the end of the line Will they bury or burn me, and what will I wear? Is it right? Is it wrong? Doesn't matter, don't care Just make me a promise, to say a small prayer And to go on believing in time.
