Time as I've known it
Doesn't take much time to pass by me
Minutes into days turn into months turn into years
They hurry by me
Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
Dreams full of promises
Hopes for the future
I've had many
Dreams I can't remember now
Hopes that I've forgotten
Faded memories
Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
And I love to see the morning
As it steals across the sky
I love to remember
And I love to wonder why
And I hope that I'm around
So I can be there when I die
When I'm gone
I hope that you will think of me
In moments when you're happy
And you're smiling
And that the thought will comfort you
On cold and cloudy days
If you are crying
And that you'll love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
And around and around
