I woke this morning and I looked at my life
It was filled with so much sorrow and grief
And in my troubled mind
I could see through all my sorrows
That time is only a thief

Time is a thief
That will rob you of your years
Your youth the only ransom you can pay

So treasure each moment
Don't let a single minute slip away
Life is for the living
Lord, I'm gonna try my best
To live life everyday

You see time is a thief
That rob you of your years
And never return ton yesterday
