Very first time was just a second Felt it go by in just a moment I could see years fly in that instant I could not wait another minute Flowing like a wave of sand, it's falling away, Right out of my hand, I had to Count it down and fade away, And tell you "good day", to all that I am TIME 'cause nothing lasts forever Wouldn't you agree No more TIME for staying close together Between you and me Nowadays I can count the hours See in real time a fading ember Rate of decay beyond my power Decades outta years into forever
