Father Time

Oh time marches on So try to keep pace, oh try Cause time marches on Too fast, too slow, it goes by It leaves without me No warning given, takes off It stops despite me No not now, don't pause I scoff One or the other Always opposite of need Oh how I suffer Father time ignores my plead Time, King of the race I'm afraid its never lost Seems to be the case It's not for sale, has not cost Destiny is all It's always on time you see Should answer the call Don't get caught being lazy Once it's gone, it's gone You can never get it back Say goodbye, so long No do over, no backtrack Bittersweet it is Wanted, but never promised A blessing it is A fleeting gift, so priceless Oh time marches on So try to keep pace, oh try Cause time marches on Too fast, too slow, it goes by
