As seconds kiss minutes,
Days dance with the sun,
we dance with time
and slip out of our hands.
As times flies by,
we look into the mirror
And changes kiss us in the face,
As months marry years,
Can we smile at the things we have done.
When the memories come flooding in,
like waves in the sea,
Will tears of regret
of the things said and done
kiss our hearts.
As time flies by,
What will be our story..........
What will be our song........
