As a child I saw life go by slowly,

It dragged on, and I didn't mind.

When my daddy told me that life flies by

I didn’t believe him.

I thought that I had all the time in the world.

I never thought of responsibilities,

Only having fun, and what’s for lunch.

Now I know my daddy was right.

Time flies,

And there’s no way of stopping it.

I don’t have all the time in the world,

Lunch feels like days ago now.

Where does the time go?

It comes and goes in the blink of an eye

And I’m just standing here, blinking.
