Not enough time to play on the jungle gym

Not enough time to just be a kid

Not enough time to look up and reach for the sky

Not enough time to look down and read all the signs

'Cause time takes you away

Time takes you away

Not enough time for the beautiful things in this world

Not enough time to give to my girl

Not enough time for a kiss to start the day

(Just one kiss)

Not enough words to give me the right thing to say

(I don't know what to say)

'Cause time takes you away

Time takes you away

Not enough time to work on just being me

Not enough time to set my thoughts free

'Cause time takes you away

Time takes you away

'Cause time takes you away

Time takes you away
