Time Keeper
I see it there watching us all " time"
I see it in my mirror and I look away.
Time card punching in, punching out.
I'm sure you will know everything in time.
The hawk flies at four p.m. every day.
It's close to cocktail hour, isn't it?
See it, feel it, touch it, all the time.
Watch out, it's five o'clock traffic time.
Maternity leave time has come at last,
Baby is due anytime now.
I'm sure you will take the time to teach
Her everything about love in time.
I'm sure his father will teach him well in time
Take the time to show him how to treat a lady.
He will grow into a fine young man in time.
As you wait for her, you watch time slip away.
I see you have patience and time on your hands.
As you paint God's canvas like a rainbow in time.
I can see she loves you more than time itself.
Have you taken time out to reset your bones?
There is always a time for love in your life, yes?
Is there ever a time when your thoughts are still?
Do you have time for me in your life, I wonder?
If you put me on a time schedule I will leave you.
