When did 19, get so far away ?
I remember it--like it was yesterday.
Not a care in the world, filled my precious head,
Now I've got all I can do --just to get out bed.
I remember my Mom saying, how time would fly,
The older you get--it just whisks on by.
But I was a doubter, probably like you,
Now everthing she said, is certainly coming true.
The days get shorter--where do they all go ?
I'm dumbfounded and puzzled, and do not know.
I wonder at times--what life is all about,
But fear I'll never know, without a single doubt.
My babies are men now, but it was only yesterday,
When I would go outside, to watch them as they play.
They're playing now, in the Big Wide World,
with the same carefree ideas, I had as a girl.
Years from now, they will wonder, as do I,
Where did the days go in the blink of an eye?
