about

A poignant reflection on life's fleeting nature, it's a reminder to savor every moment.

lyrics

Time keeps on passing me by
My friend tried to help and asked me why
I work so hard. I said there’s so much to do
Before I’m done, before I’m through

You live your life one day at a time
You spend your love one love at a time
The past it fades into the mist
Some things just won’t be missed

Chorus
The time we have is all we have
You can’t get any more
Time is like a fine glass of wine
When it’s gone there’s no more time

Your pets grow old and then they’re gone
Your friends change and then they move on
You raise your kids and then they’re grown
Your parent pass and then you’re alone

What Einstein said, it came from his head
You can’t come back after you’re dead
There is no future, just the past
An irony for those who last

You spend your life in guilt and shame
Go find some help for the pain
Build a fortress or a wall
Or tear them down and have a ball

Do all you can before you leave
Give those you leave no reason to grieve
So much to do, so little time
Run fast ‘til your day is done
