What can you say
when you see it all just slip away
Wasted opportunities
A chance went begging but you wouldn't play
All you had to do was ask
How quickly the time does pass
Every day gets shorter, see how the years fly by
Dreams that never were fulfilled
Tales no lips can ever tell
You get no second chances
This ticket's good one way
You can't change the days gone by
It doesn't matter how you try
Watch the hands of time march on
And see the caravan of life go by
And so one day soon
Perhaps you'll come to know the truth
When our race is almost run
And we have paid the keepers price with youth
Once again we'll all remark
How quickly the time does pass
Every day gets shorter
See how the years fly by
Hopes we never realized
Those times we never even tried
You get no second chances
This ticket's good one way
You can't change the days gone by
It doesn't matter how you try
Watch the hands of time march on
And see the caravan of life go by
You can end the song here by repeating the last 2 lines to finish, which I prefer to do.
