Lyrics

Where did the time go?  I hear people say.

I was a young one, just yestserday.

For the world keeps on turning...

The ages roll on...

It's a short time here - It's a long time gone.

There's so many things we need to do...

in this world of ours that we're passing through.

Like looking for kindness and passing it along...

It's a short time  here - It's a long time gone.

We don't love our neighbor, we don't take the time.

It's money that matters, every thin dime.

Take this to the bank, you can etch it in stone.

It's a short time here - it's a long time gone.

It's a mystery, I can't explain why...

We pay so little heed to the time flying by

It's a plain simple truth...the surest I've known.

It's  a short time here - It's a long time gone.

(short solo instrumental)

We're busy with things that don't even count.

Never thinking time so soon will run out.

For the clock is ticking...it keeps moving on.

It's a short time here - It's a long time gone.

It's never too late to start changing our ways.

To do things right now... instead of one of these days.

Like fighting for right and forgiving wrong...

It's a short time here - It's a long time gone.

It's a short time here - It's a long time gone.
