Slip on By |
| Early morning by the riverside |
| Saw an old man waiting for a bite |
| We started talking and he took me back in time |
| He said I was young and thought I’d always be |
| Then I woke up now I’m 83 |
| There’s so much I missed |
| Oh how I wish I could get back all that time I wasted |
| I see the tears of a young bride |
| The morning that we had our first fight |
| I should’ve held her tight |
| And on the day that my momma died |
| I hung up the phone and never said goodbye |
| Don’t let it slip on |
| Don’t let it slip on |
| Don’t let it slip on by |
| Well he looked up with tears in his eyes |
| Said I’m not sure if you were looking for advice |
| There’s just something about you |
| That reminds me of me |
| It ain’t easy always looking back |
| But it seems these days that it’s all I have |
| And what hurts me the most is knowing what could have been |
| And if I listen real close sometimes I can |
| Hear the sound of my little boy saying |
| Daddy can you come play with me? |
| But I was too busy |
| Then one day my baby grew up and went to war |
| I never thought he’d be gone in the blink of an eye |
| Don’t let it slip on |
| Don’t let it slip on |
| Don’t let it slip on by |
| I shook the old man’s hand and I thanked him |
| And I drove home as fast as I could go |
| Just to let her know |
| That I need her |
| That I love her |
| That I’m never gonna let another moment like this slip on by |
| Don’t let it slip on by |
| We’re only here for a little while |
| And God gives us only so much precious time |
| Don’t let it slip on |
| Don’t let it slip on |
| Don’t let it slip on by |
| Don’t let it slip on by |
