Borrowed Time
TICK TOCK
Back in time we can not go
To change the past, of this we know
But hurt it does, when this we see
How for granted we took, of thee
TICK TOCK
Precious minutes, I now not waste
Passage marked, now not in haste
Cherished moments, few will be
Before she is taken, away from me
TICK TOCK
Borrowed time, you've given to us
But at a steep price, we must now fuss
Warning was given, to us with pain
Can not change this, have tried in vain
TICK TOCK
But cherish I will, of this be sure
Wasting not one, will be our cure
Cure from fear of you, you see
Fear of the moment she is taken from me
TICK TOCK
