Sometimes I think I’m making a friend when I see a smiling face

But then it comes to an end

They get whisked away

I never get a name

I’ll have to wait and hope we meet again

The cold outside will do you good

It fortifies the soul

You see the woodsman

He’s chopping wood

And he’s gone without a trace

A name without a face

You get whisked away again

Life flashes by

A quarter of an hour at a time

In your life you might find

You could use another hour

But time isn’t on your side

I don’t want to hear from you anymore

You take all my time

Not another tear for you

Today I thought was quite well spent

I barely checked the phone

But then it happened again

I got whisked away

When I saw your name

And I betrayed my only friend

Life flashes by

A quarter of an hour at a time

In your life you might find

You could use another hour

But time isn’t on your side

I don’t want to hear from you anymore

You take all my time

Not another tear for you
