Time was a friend of mine
Back when I was young
And summer was forever
Time, good was your first name
Ev'ry day a lesson
With something new to learn
Time, I guess you've known us all
The cowards and the kings
And well you must remember
Time, when did you begin
Trading your tomorrows
For worn out yesterdays

You have shared my life
Like a trusted friend
You have watched me grow old
While this story I have told
Is ending

Time, you're leaving me behind
I feel you movin' on
As you'll go on forever
Time, rolling into years
Years that left me walking
When you began to fly
When you began to fly
Oh you've begun to fly
