Lyrics
As I look back in the mirror of time I see a familiar rhyme We keep on going through the same old routine I know there is more to life I keep on struggling to find the words Lord knows I want to heal From the flaming darts you’re shooting at me Gotta move on, I gotta forgive, ‘cause Time, time, time doesn’t wait
Time, time, time keeps on ticking Time, time, time doesn’t wait Living every minute like it’s the last minute ‘Cause time, time, time doesn’t wait
Why does it seems like every road that I choose Won’t be the right one to use You always say I can’t do anything right I know there is more to love I keep on struggling to find some grace Lord knows I want to stay Your misspoken words I’ll no longer hear Gotta move on, I gotta forgive, ‘cause Time, time, time doesn’t wait
Time, time, time keeps on ticking Time, time, time doesn’t wait Living every minute before it’s too late ‘Cause time, time, time doesn’t wait
What if I were perfect, would that be enough? Ain’t gonna let nobody take away my precious love One day you will have wished you had looked a little closer Dug a little deeper to find the hidden treasures buried inside of me With all the love and goodness I have to give Gotta move on, I gotta forgive, ‘cause
Time, time, time keeps on ticking Time, time, time doesn’t wait Living every minute before it’s too late ‘Cause time, time, time doesn’t wait
Time, time, time keeps on ticking Time, time, time doesn’t wait Living every minute before it’s too late ‘Cause time, time, time doesn’t wait
Time, time, time keeps on ticking Time, time, time doesn’t wait
