I woke today before the sun Lay in bed for an hour, or two I wondered if you were the one As I lay awake in our bed, next to you Well, I can't stop time Well, I try to define things for myself We're only getting older You know, you know So I stop to ask why As life passes me by And I would hate to say I told you so 'cause embarking on a future And light that it casts While every moment is waving hello From the past I watch the night time turn to dawn The light changed colors on your face Shadows move from short to long As daytime slowly found its place Well, I can't stop time Well, I try to define things for myself We're only getting older You know, you know So I stop to ask why As life passes me by And I would hate to say I told you so 'cause embarking on a future And light that it casts While every moment is waving hello From the past Out the window of your car You were singing "when the levee breaks" And I put things aside As we go for a ride All the past seems like innocent mistakes And all the past seems like innocent mistakes
