Time Slips Away

(Words and Music by Mike Lemise)
Copyright 2003 Mike Lemise

Do you remember the days when we set out to play,
A long time ago in a place far away?
Do you remember what we wanted to say,
Such a long time ago, before time slipped away?

People we knew, then thought we outgrew.
Faces we made when we had not a clue.
Do you remember what we wanted to do,
A long time ago, before time slipped away?

All we wanted to do, all we wanted to say,
Such a long time ago, it seems that
Time took off on a holiday.
I don't think that it's coming back,
But tomorrow's another day.

If I held up a sign would you be inclined,
To read what it said, if you had the time?
Would you remember what we never could say,
Such a long time ago before time slipped away?

Time waits for no one.
That's what everybody says.
I hate that notion;
I can't drag myself out of bed.

I sleep instead. I don't know why.
Time goes by, but I can't cry.

A moment's time, a forgotten line.
Two people gone astray.
Words that rhyme, that slipped your mind.
A song that got away. Oh.

So remember the days, and remember the names,
A long time ago when we played silly games.
Will you remember a sunnier day,
Such a long time ago before time slipped away.

All we wanted to do, all we wanted to say,
Such a long time ago, it seems that
Time took off on a holiday.
I don't think that it's coming back,
But tomorrow's another day.

I said, I don't think that it's coming back,
But tomorrow is another day.

When time slips away.
