C Dm F G Em Am Em F Em Am G

c Dm D5 F G C
floks will tell you that life goes by in one blink of an eye
c Dm Dsus F G C
when your young you hear what they say / but you think its just a lie

5 years old a new year has begin
an mama brings you to school
you think the day is never gonna end /
but mama out there waitin on you

Em Dm Em f ///Em Dm G

the hands of time keep passin by
like the clouds in the sky

the morin light turns into night
another days went by

12 years old it time for middle school / and mama wants to give you a ride
but you say mama i just wont look cool why dont you wait inside
the time of day just seems to drag on by till you can hang with your friends after school
when you get home no matter what the time you know mama will be watin on you

the hands of time keep passin by
like the clouds in the sky

the morin light turns into night
another days went by

before you know it you turn 22 you left your school years behind
mama calls to say she misses you and you think you could come home for a while

you say mama i just cant right now i got alot of things to do
but thell be pleanty time to spend with you once my work is through

Am Em Am Em

as the years melt away life gets in the way
of all the things you know you should have done

but you just lost another day

turned around and now your 42 and mama has been gone a long time
you think about the things she said to you on that day she died

said blinked her eyes and now her life is through your only here for a short while
and on that day the good lord comes for you your mama will be waitin there to

the hands of time keep passin by
like the clouds in the sky

the morin light turns into night
another days went by another life has gone by
