Kathy Mattea - Time Passes By lyrics

rate me

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 to

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

And later realize

Time 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

Thoughts are like pennies we keep in out pockets

They're never worth nothing till we give them away

Love's like a promise in an unopened letter

Where nights full of pleasure seldom see the light of day

When life gets in the way

Time passes by people pass on...

Time passes by people pass on...
