Precious Time

See the minutes fly

Time, precious time, slipping through my fingers just like sand

Time, precious time, making such a joke of all my plans

Because every day just goes so fast

You just turn around it’s passed

Into time, precious time, precious time

Time, precious time, how I wish that I could buy you back again

Time, precious time, I wouldn’t care about the money I would spend

But the clock just won’t turn back

Hey, don’t you know I can’t keep track

Of time, precious time, precious time

I used to think that time was on my side

But then I learned it’s just a lie

Because time’s the only thing that money just can’t buy

See the minutes fly

Time, precious time, drifting through the smoke rings in my mind

Time, precious time, how I wish that I could leave those ghosts behind

So raise your glass for old time’s sake

But drink up fast because time won’t wait

Time, precious time, precious time

See the minutes fly
