Johnny Reid - Time Flies

A baby’s born, a momma cries
She sees a glimpse of his daddy there in his eyes
Take him home and watch him sleep
Stand and wonder who he’s gonna be

Then its tonka trucks and baseball gloves
Then his first kiss and his first love
Oh, the innocence just don’t last
Our dreams and our future go by so fast

Mountains move and rivers run
Shadows fall with the setting sun
Thunder rolls and lightning strikes
The darkness covers the swallows of the light

And time flies

An old man sits alone
Trying hard to remember but his memory’s gone
Up on the wall trapped under glass inside a frame
Hangs a picture of a couple on their wedding
See through his eyes the world looks gray
His life was full of colour
But colours fade away

Mountains move and rivers run
Shadows fall with the setting sun
Thunder rolls and lightning strikes
The darkness covers the swallows of the light

And time flies

We all laugh and we all cry
We all live and we all die
But through it all and in between

Time flies
Time flies
Time flies
Time flies
