Lyrics
OLD FATHER TIME
Verse 1
It's time to take a chance
You paid the fiddler
Now its time to dance
And though the evening lights are dim and the shadows creepin' in
There aint no stopping Old Father Time
Verse 2
It's not an easy thing
This life were livin'
This song I sing
But if my time has come to go
You know that I won't be alone
I'll be hangin' 'round with Old Father Time
Bridge
And when the blues creep up on you
And troubles come in twos
Seem that all the world is a sad melody
Verse 3
They tell me
Broken hearts will mend
That time's gonna heal
And you'll love again
So wont you take these blues from my mind
I'm askin' you Old Father Time
Yes I'm askin' you Old Father Time
