Watching Time

I lived a thousand life times 
 loved a thousand more 
 I’ve haunted long forgotten ruins
 and cruised the coastal shores
 searching for my destiny
 on streets of broken dreams
 where I was young & forever was mine
 I had nothing but time
 but that was then it’s not today
 it’s another place and time
 of where and whens and used to be’s
 I used to wanna be so many things.
 I used to have so many dreams.

 Now I’m watching time fly
 on the wings of my dreams it goes by
 I try to reach and grab a piece
 it just passes me by
 I’m just watching time fly
 Do I have to live another life
 before I finally get it right
  
 I remember one summer day
 not so long ago, but so far away
 I met you
 you took my hand
 led me out across the sand
 We danced. We laughed. 
 We loved. We shined.
 It was the best night of my life.
 but I let the chance slip away
 thinking better would come my way
 If I knew then what I knew now
 I never would’ve let you out of my sight
  We’d still Shine!
  
 Instead I’m watching time fly
 on the wings of my dreams it goes by
 I try and reach and grab a piece
 it just passes me by
 I’m just watching time fly
 on the wings of my dreams it goes by
 Do I have to live another life
 Before I finally get it right
  
 Oh, I’ve wasted years
 I’ve wasted tears
 I’ve lived with too many fears
 spent to many sleepless nights
 by the neon lights
 have to get myself in gear
 I was musing on could have beens
 with a sloe gin friend
 knowing someday is not to far away
 It’s just not today
 But it’s never too late
  
 To stop watching time fly
 on the wings of my dreams it goes by.
 I try to reach and grab that piece
 before it passes me by
 I’m watching time fly
 and I pray Please grant me one more life
 let me get it right.
 I pray Please grant me one more life
 Let me do this right.
