Song Description

A look first at the seasons passing quickly, then how quickly a life passes, how one ages so fast. Then finally a youth that looses her life long before it was time.

Lyrics

Where time goes
Is it already time for chrysanthemums to bloom
Now the frost will be soon setting in
Is it time for the leaves to turn bright yellow and red
The year end is now drawing near
Can somebody say where does the time go?
It just wanders along on its own
First its there, then its here. and now been a year
You just can?t slow it you can?t turn it around.

Is it already time for graduation to begin
You are starting to walk down the aisle
My thoughts wander back to the child you once were
But you are now heading out on your own
Does anyone know just where does a youth go
It?s a jewel you hold only awhile
When its there you despair, as if you didn?t care
When its gone you just long for it back

The years have gone by, now your bodies slowing down
And your memories starting to fade
It seems just yesterday that your life was in its prime
Now the legacy is all that remains
Can anyone say just where a life goes
First its there in the flesh, then its gone
Once it seemed it would endure, now it only seems a blur
Something gone in the wink of an eye

Yesterday, somewhere out on a highway north of here
A young girls journey came to an end
Her time it ran out rather suddenly it seems
Not all get that chance to grow old.

So it seems this is just how a life goes
A bright little flame that goes out
Hold it close as you may, because you will lose it one day
Do not waste it , do not give it away.
