Old Soul (It All Goes by in the Blink of an Eye)
Old soul
Sitting at the window
Watching as a big world
Passes by
Old soul
Staring out the window
As the tears fall
From the eyes
Wondering…
What happened to the people
Who I used to know
What happened to the faces
Smiles, that used to glow
What happened to the old days
Days now been and gone
As I sit, a little wiser
All alone
Oh, time… truly
Is a funny, old thing
One moment you have lots
Then, there’s not a note to sing
Oh, life… truly
Is like the sands of time
In a broken hourglass
Runnin’ oh, so fine
And it all goes by
In the blink of an eye
Time goes by so fast
That why you gotta’
Live in the moment
Before the moment
Has passed
Old soul
Sitting at the window
Watching as scenes of life
Unfold
Old soul
Staring out the window
With a million tales to tell
Yet, untold
Wondering…
What happened to the good times
That quickly pass you by
Can’t unwind the winding clock
No matter how you try
What happened to the old days
Days now been and gone
As I sit by the window
All alone
Oh, time… truly
Is a funny, old thing
One moment you have lots
Then, there’s not a note to sing
Oh, life… truly
Is like the sands of time
In a broken hourglass
Runnin’ oh, so fine
And it all goes by
In the blink of an eye
Time goes by so fast
That why you gotta’
Live in the moment
Before the moment
Has passed
Blink
And you’ll miss it
Blink
And it’s gone
Everyone’s here
Now I’m all alone
Sat by the window
Watching the sky
As birds fly free
And life passes by
