The Passing Of Yesterday

Hear the clock ticking
As time passes by
Watch as the seasons disappear
At the wink of an eye
See how a child grows
And the years speed on their way
Knowing there is nothing we can do
To stop the passing of yesterday

One day we are children
Walking to school
Next we are teenagers
Breaking all the rules
Then we are adults
With children of our own
And then like magic
They have families of their own

One day we are young
Then we are old
And the time in between
Is our tender years
That pass so quickly
They are gone without trace
Leaving only the memories
Of the magic we couldn’t contain
