Lyrics

Time

(Kathy Kallick, Red Shirt Pub. Co./BMI)

Men like to hear the young girls sing
Oh, but my voice still has wings
The beauty of an oak stands up against the rose
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
 
Twenty is a flower just taking root
Thirty is a tree bearing fruit
Forty is a vine growing grapes for wine
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
 
Please don’t mistake me for one like all the rest
I’m a morning glory leaning up against a fence
Opening and closing with the turning of the day
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
 
Time is your best friend and time will rob you blind
Steal up from behind and leave its brutal signs
When all is said and done there’s just no way to run from 
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
