Lyrics
Verse 1:
l look down at my hands and see the signs of age.
Another chapter in my life, just a turning of the page.
I remember when, your little hands held mine.
So dependent on me it's just another place in time.
Chorus:
And it's all about the changes, they happen much too fast.
Till all we're left with are images of the past.
I know I can't go back there, but boy if I could, I would slow down time and make it last.
Verse 2:
There through all the pain your growth was hard to see.
But while I thought to teach you, you were really teaching me.
I know I have regrets, I suppose most parents do. But you must know this, I'm awfully proud of you.
Verse 3:
So now life moves on, you're living on your own. It isn't hard to see just how much you've grown.
It's about the changes , It happens to you and me.
It's all about our lives, and the people we were meant to be.
Ending:
Repeat Chorus
I know I can't go back there, but boy, if I could,
I would slow down time and make it last (x2).
