Time Passes By

Dreams drift away like leaves on the water

They roll down the river and slip out of sight

Too many times we do what we ought

Put off 'til tomorrow what we'd really rather do tonight

And later realiseTime passes by, people pass on

At the drop of a tear, they're gone

Let's do what we dare, do what we like

And love while we're here before time passes byThoughts are like pennies we keep in our pockets

They're never worth nothing 'til we give them away

But love's like a promise in an un-opened letter

Where nights full of pleasure seldom see the light of day

When life gets in the wayTime passes by, people pass on

At the drop of a tear, they're gone

Let's do what we dare, do what we like

And love while we're here before time passes by
