Lyrics
HANDS OF TIME
I know a boy named Billy, He?s 15 years old
He is always wondering why the world moves so slow
I know a guy named Johnny, He is 25 years old
He is always telling me about the places he?s going to go
I?ve got a friend named Bobby, He?s 35 years old
He is always asking where does the time go
{Chorus}
As the hands of time keep turning
So does your point of view
You just hope that the hands of time
Will point out the right road for you
You can?t stop the hands of time
No matter how hard you try
You had better open your eyes
Before you slip through the hands of time
I know a guy named Scotty, He is 45 years old
He told me the other day he quit looking for his pot of gold
I know a guy named Ronny, He is 55 years old
All that he wants to do is watch his grand kids grow
I know a wise young man named Larry, He is 65 years old
He knows more than I?ll ever know ? He told me so
