On the corner of a street stands a girl who waits for her lover

She's only seventeen, never been in love with another

Though he's half an hour late, she will

Wait, for she loves him so, she can't go

But all the time she's aware people stare, people stare

Time goes so slowly when you're young

Time hangs so heavy

Don't wish time away now before your time has begun

You're still young

After work a woman runs for the bus, her children are waiting

She was serving in a shop, couldn't stop anticipating

But the children want to play and they say "Oh just let us be"

And she sees that their childhood has already gone

They've moved on

Time goes too quickly when they're young

Time steals them from you

When the children were there you had no time to spare

Not like now

There's a quiet man who waits, never states his reason for living

Never wanting to impose, still he never chose to stop giving

And so he doesn't see the TV, he waits for his son, the only one

But his son he doesn't come, he's having fun

Having fun

Time goes so fast when you're old

You live in the past

You can turn back the clock but time still rushes on

Time goes on
