Lyrics
Time is Ticking away!!!
1. If you ever meet a girl, that makes you fall in love.
You better take her by the hand, and try to steal her heart away,
You better tell her that you love her, and show her every day,
If you don?t, before you know it, time will tick away.
(background)
Tick tock, tick tock, time is ticking away,
2. When I was just a boy, I meet a little girl, She looked at me
with her eyes of brown, turned my whole world upside down.
I fell in love with the little girl, the moment that we meet,
She fills my world with love and joy, and I have no regrets.
(Chorus) (Tick tock, tick tock, Tick tock, tick tock,)
Time is ticking away, (Tick tock, tick tock, Tick tock, tick tock,)
Time is ticking away, But that don?t really matter, cause we?re
together every single Day, (Tick tock, tick tock,) Time is
ticking away,
3. I married that little girl, I meet so long ago,
She?s the best girlfriend I ever had, she?s the women that I love.
She gave me both of my children, for us she sacrificed,
She did without so we could have, She?s the love of my life.
4. Now I?m glad that she?s my lover, my wife and my best friend.
She?s my water when I?m thirsty, when I?m hungry she is my
strength, She?s the one that makes my heart run wild, she?s the
one that makes me smile. If I had to do it over. I?d do it all
again,
(Chorus) (Tick tock, tick tock, Tick tock, tick tock,) Time is
ticking away, (Tick tock, tick tock, Tick tock, tick tock,) Time is
ticking away, But that don?t really matter, we?re together every
single day; (Tick tock, tick tock,) Time is ticking away,
(Tick tock, tick tock, Tick tock, tick tock,) Time is ticking away,
(Tick tock, tick tock,) Time is ticking away. Time, time, is ticking
away!
