Watching the Time

[Verse 1]
I was a child in the '60s
So unsure of my direction
I would follow where
My friends and family would lead
I was strengthened
By the birth of the Beatles
Sparked by inspiration
I was scarred by the pain
Of constant departures
I was wounded severely
At an early age
But my hopes hung high
On the thought of the future
And no one could see

[Chorus]
The time go by
Day for night
Watching the time go by
(Watching the time)
Time goes by
Eye to eye
Watching the time go by

[Verse 2]
And then the world changed
There was hope in the distance
Until it raised up around us
And proceeded to shine
Like a moonlight
Full of reckless abandon
We would reach for the stars
'Cause there was room at the top
And food on the table
We were doing quite well
For such an early stage
There was no need to stop
Nor were we able
And no one could see

[Chorus]
The time go by
Day for night
Watching the time go by
(Day to night, time to time)
Time goes by
Eye to eye
Watching the time go by
(Time to time)
Time goes by
Dark to light
Watching the time go by
(Watch the time)
Time goes by
Why oh why
Watching the time go by

[Bridge]
There are moments
I regret more than the rest
There are days I don't recall at all
Looking back now
There's not much that I would change
I am happy, happy to watch the

[Chorus]
Time go by
Day for night
Watching the time go by
Time goes by
Eye to eye
Watching the time go by
Watching the time go by

[Chorus]
(There's nothing like time)
Time goes by
Day for night
Watching the time go by
Time goes by
Eye to eye
Watching the time go by
(So many moments, so many moments)
Time goes by (Oh time)
Dark to light
Watching the time go by (Oh time goes by)
Time goes by
Why oh why
Watching the time go by
