Time Passes By


Sung by Kathy Mattea

Dreams drift away like leaves on the water. They roll down the river and drift out of sight. Too many times we do what we oughta and put off til tomorrow what we'd really rather do tonight and then later realize that time passes by. People pass on. At the drop of a tear, they're gone. Let's do what we dare, do what we like, and love while we're here before time passes by. Thoughts are like pennies we keep in our pockets. They're never worth nothing til we give them away. Love's like a promise in an unopened letter where nights full of pleasure seldom see the light of day... when love gets in the way. Time passes by. People pass on. At the drop of a tear, they're gone. Let's do what we dare, do what we like, and love while we're here before time passes by.
