I woke up this morning, looked at my life
Filled with so much sorrow and grief
My troubled mind could see through strife
That time is only a thief

Time was a thief
That stole my tomorrows
Left me with only yesterday
Time has robbed me of my precious years
My youth the only ransom I can pay

You got that treasure each little moment
You can't  let a single minute slip away
Time is a thief
That robs you of your years
And never returns one yesterday
Oh, no no no ...one yesterday
