Lyrics

I am sitting still as death
And the fire's dying embers
Fade into the darkness
Of the last night in December
The gently sagging mantle
Pulls the cracks down through the plaster
Where the clocks and christmas stockings
Hold the echoes of the laughter
And I'm trying to remember it all

Time moves so quickly now
And I just can't slow it down

It seems like only yesterday
That I was just a child
It seems like only yesterday
I was innocent and wild
The minutes were like hours
And The hours were like days
And it seems like only yesterday
It seems like only yesterday

The room is getting colder
As the fire gets even lower
In the bedroom down the hall
My wife is breathing slowly
And I listen to the static
Fadin' from the TV
And If the walls could talk
Would they tell me where I'm going
Or what will happen to me in the end

Time moves so quickly now
And I count the days like hours

It seems like only yesterday
That I was just a child
It seems like only yesterday
I was innocent and wild
The minutes were like hours
And The hours were like days
And it seems like only yesterday
It seems like only yesterday

And I'm tryin' to remember it all
And I'm tryin' to remember it all
And I'm tryin' to remember
The good and the bad and the joy and the pain
The times of our lives

It seems like only yesterday
That I was just a child
It seems like only yesterday
I was innocent and wild
The minutes were like hours
And The hours were like days
And it seems like only yesterday
It seems like only yesterday
