Verse 1
We seem way too young
To be this old
So many songs still left unsung
Stories remain untold
But summers come and gone
And the wind is cold
How did it get to be so late so soon
Flowers seem to fade before they even bloom
Chorus
Time is ever running out
And moving on
I can't find a way to slow it down
When it's gone, it's gone
Did I let it slip away
Before it began?
I don't want to burn another day
When it's gone, it's gone
Verse 2
It seems way too early
To be this late
Darkness comes in quietly at half-past eight
These days could be so good
They could be so great
How did it get to be so late so soon?
Did the night arrive before the afternoon?
Chorus
Time is ever running out
And moving on
I can't find a way to slow it down
When it's gone, it's gone
Did I let it slip away
Before it began?
I don't want to burn another day
When it's gone, it's gone
