Time can fly when you're having fun Time drags by when you miss someone We say hello and we say goodbye Coming and going at the speed of life You start out crawling then you learn to walk You run into someone and then you fall The band plays on as worlds collide Drums keep beating at the speed of life Come on baby ride with me Four strong winds, seven deep seas A big blue ball flying through space Can't turn back not a minute to waste Womb to the tomb, blink of an eye Everything's moving at the speed of life Well I don't know what the future holds But I been watching the river flow It can sink quick and it can rise high Always rolling at the speed of life Come on baby ride with me Four strong winds, seven deep seas A big blue ball flying through space Can't turn back not a minute to waste Womb to the tomb, the blink of an eye Everything's moving at the speed of life Lady luck, father time Everything's moving at the speed... of life
