| [00:11.97] |
Now as the wheel of life turns faster |
| [00:17.61] |
Now as the seasons seem to fly |
| [00:23.46] |
I see so many things at last, but didn't see the time go by |
| [00:32.10] |
I've known delight, I've known disaster |
| [00:37.74] |
The caviar, the humble pie |
| [00:43.02] |
From the absurd to the sublime |
| [00:46.35] |
I didn't see the time go by |
| [00:47.37] |
I didn't see the years roll on |
| [00:54.51] |
I didn't know the road would bend |
| [00:56.94] |
Refused to see when youth was gone |
| [00:59.70] |
Pretending it might never end |
| [01:02.73] |
Now, there is price to pay for every day I threw away |
| [01:11.46] |
It seems I've wasted half a lifetime |
| [01:16.71] |
within the blinking of an eye |
| [01:22.29] |
I didn't hear the midnight chime |
| [01:25.38] |
I didn't see the time go by |
| [01:39.30] |
In stolen nights and brief romances |
| [01:44.82] |
I kissed the girls and made them cry |
| [01:50.25] |
While there were balconies to climb |
| [01:53.43] |
I didn't see the time go by |
| [01:58.80] |
I was the guy with all the answers, |
| [02:04.11] |
the halfway-truths, the little lies |
| [02:09.69] |
So sure, so certain in my prime |
| [02:13.02] |
I didn't see the time go by |
| [02:18.21] |
I hit the heights, I bit the dirt |
| [02:20.88] |
I left some wreckage in my way |
| [02:23.64] |
I didn't see that lies can hurt |
| [02:26.37] |
I didn't know how hearts can break |
| [02:29.31] |
And now, they come to haunt my mind, |
| [02:32.22] |
the lives I touched and left behind |
| [02:43.38] |
I've sung a hundred songs of longing, |
| [02:48.30] |
of sweet regret and hope run dry |
| [02:53.88] |
I've searched for melody and rhyme, |
| [02:56.64] |
but never saw how time can fly, |
| [02:59.61] |
newer saw the darkening sky |
| [03:04.95] |
I was a minstrel of my time |
| [03:07.71] |
Who did not see the time go by |
