My Leisure Time Well Spent

When I was a young boy, The radio would blast in my ears… I would cheerfully sing along to a new song… Those memories come back to me like waves approaching me I sang along with my mother by my side She’s the driver and I’m on the passenger seat… In other words, I called “shot-gun!” first I prize these recollections and they make me beam so wide Old memories spent with you are still there in my mind You’ve painted me a picture of what you get out of life Throwing out all strife…throwing out all strife We welcome the sun…we welcome the son! When I was spending happy days with you, I didn’t know they could fade so soon I didn’t know time would pass up by like morning to afternoon Changes were made and I can’t change that Where have you gone? Are you feeling OK? Talk to me…I wonder about you every single day But, all these years we’ve spent it on leisure time has come to hunt me down again like a predator, finally getting its hands on its first victim You sing so sweet, nightingale in the nightfall I’ve memorized your face when you walk in the gloomy hall Hear me as I call…hear me as I call… You melt me like ice cream, left in the sun When you remind me of the segments of my past, I just want to tell you straight-out that I don’t care to hear about it I’m sorry to act so harsh, but you’re looking back again Don’t break my heart…it’s not my time to die Yesterday…where have you gone? Yesterday…you’re a long lost son… Yesterday…you’re in the grave Tomorrow… will be God’s Kingdom Tomorrow…the day will be handsome It’s sad to see you go… While my family and I are spending good, leisure time It’s tough to let you know You’ve made me sad ‘cause you’ve changed big time Might as well listen to music and shut out all sound I was just a useless toy all along, Stomped on on the ground…I’m gravity-bound But, I won’t even try to sing this depressing song Besides, it wasn’t arranged for one But, nevertheless, I prayed to God with all of my heart My leisure time was well-spent! Thank God my young heart didn't break apart!
