And Then Time Goes By

When I was a child
Hey, I could do anything
Oh, how my heart would sing
Wondering what a day might bring

Then I was a boy
They told me I was born to run
Thought I might catch the sun
Before another day was done

---Chorus---
And then times goes by
They say time can fly
And I wondered Why (And so I had to try) (And it flew on by)
---------------------------
When I was in my Prine
It got a little hard to see
Just what was meant to be
And who might be there for me

Then I was a man
Wondering which way to go
How come I didn't know
A cold, cold wind might blow

--Repeat Chorus--

-Bridge-
The best that I can do is embrace the journey
Stopping now & then to enjoy the view
Keep it all in mind, so it won't get left behind
------------------

--Repeat Chorus--

When I was just a child
I could do most anything
But, I'm a lot older now
I listen to my memory sing
Just like I was a child

Great production! Great country feel and vibe.

A fine brief history of a man's journey through life.

always love the voice and of course the recordings.... great job

This is a passage of life song. From boy to man. Kind of contemplative, but also upbeat and fun to listen to, especially with that fiddle, which really adds a lot to the track. Vocal is crystal clear and nicely performed, perfectly in tune.

Nice song, catchy and sounds like something on the he radio. Well done. I liked how it followed him from a child to his prime and a man and then he seems to have insight as a man to think freely like a child.

Song has tons of potential I like the story and really believe with some deeper feeling it would be a really good song. The song is there. Thank You
for sharing I appreciate the hard work goes into getting a song where you want it but they get even better if we have thick skin and appreciate the fans and reviewers who want to help. Good Health & Good Music.

This song has a nice feel. I like the lyrics. The instrumentation was very good. The vocals and harmonies were really good. I really liked the fiddle in the background. Nice touch. The arrangement is good. The mix sounded good. I like the tone of the background guitar.

I think this would work well for a mainstream country artist - maybe as an album cut for an older male country artist? Nice work all round, but because I'm not that au fait with the Americana genre, this strikes me more as an MOR style. But it works well as a song, no doubt about that.

Nice feel. Good solid sellable country song. A lot of potential. Fiddle adds to the overall sound and the vocals sound solid.

I liked what you did ...you sounded more country to me but that is ok....back ground spot on, harmony was heard and well done, story line great. Time goes by for us all.

Really like this one. Well played and sung. Liked the mix of rock and country and folk aspects.
