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
