Lyrics

(No Slowing) The Hands Of Time
VERSE 1:
Miss Suzy Small-town used to dance like a dream
Made the move to big city, bright lights
But ?Flashdance? was only a movie she?d seen
And pounding pavement made the money tight
So after the sun set on Sunset Boulevard
she?d slide down poles and bare ?most all for rent
At thirty-five she felt she?d played her last card
She?d give anything to be sixteen and innocent
CHORUS:
The hands of time, won?t slow down
Life takes you to the next round
Face each day, embrace the learning
Roll with the wheels that keep on turnin?
The lesson is love, the lesson is life
Welcome growing, there ain?t no slowing
the hands of time
VERSE 2:
Mister Used-To-Be-Good-Looking, Corporate Ace
faced fifty, ain?t life full of surprises
Found himself reminiscing his college days
Family life was too filled with compromises
So he dyed the grey right out of his hair
Pursued a come-on from the coffee-place chick
Walked right out on his wife of thirty years
Then called her up whenever he felt homesick
CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
Grandmother Joan?s heart decided to give in
When she?d made it to seventy-nine
Her only son?s theory was wearin? thin
That for another ten years she?d be fine
Family gathered around the bed cryin?
Not ready to see her pass away
Grandmother whispered: ?No big deal, I?m just dyin?,
But first there?s something I need to say??
CHORUS:
TAG:
Welcome growing, there ain?t no slowing
The hands of time
