Time

Time, won't you hold on a minute Won't you please let me catch my breath Time, won't you hold on a minute Won't you please let me catch my breath I want to sit on a dock and watch that river flow by I want to climb up a mountain and feel that misty sky But this watch on my wrist is like a shackle on my life This damned old time is keeping me from living right Time, won't you hold on a minute Won't you please let me catch my breath Time, won't you hold on a minute Won't you please let me catch my breath I want to lie down in my hammock as I count those stars above I want to find the right woman who will be my true love In this busy life it can be so tough Time ain't like money, no, you can never have enough Time, won't you hold on a minute Won't you please let me catch my breath Time, won't you hold on a minute Won't you please let me catch my breath But as we get older And we live a little longer It keeps on getting better Then it fades I want to love on my lady until we're grey and old I want to watch all my babies have babies of their own And when my time comes and my names on that stone I'm gonna thank the good Lord for calling me back home Time, won't you hold on a minute Won't you please let me catch my breath Time, won't you hold on a minute Won't you please let me catch my breath
