Tick tock...tick tock...
Life is checking down on your inner clock.
Recollections that vibe as though they happened yesterday
swing to flashes of minutes that appear to blur away.
Individuals you once knew
stroll by without an intimation.
The circumstances you once shared
exist as though you were never there.
A long time fly...friends bite the dust...
what's more, you never know when you'll say your last farewell.
Goodness, how I wish I could turn back time,
go through it with friends and family and love what used to be mine.
Or then again to backpedal much more,
being a child in a treat store.
How I miss the way I used to feel
on Christmas day when Santa was genuine.
In any case, back to reality...back to today,
family is rare and recollections keep on fading without end.
Tick tock...tick tock...
How I wish I could control this time
