| Grandaddy seemed to talk in riddles 'round the end
|
| It took me a lot more livin' to understand what he meant
|
| When he said
|
| I was born at daylight walkin' tall by seven
|
| Gratuated ten a.m. got saved by eleven
|
| I took her hand it was straight up noon
|
| Had three kids before two
|
| They all grew and left in the afternoon
|
| Time flies these eyes
|
| Have seen the glory of the morning
|
| Turn into a silent night
|
| I’ve lived a million moments in the time
|
| It takes the sun to fade
|
| And it feels like it all happened in a day
|
| His eyes glistened as he talked about his autumn afternoon
|
| How they held each other in the chill of a silver moon
|
| He got all chocked up when midnight fell
|
| She squeezed his hand the clock struck twelve
|
| She let go and he was all by himself
|
| Time flies these eyes
|
| Have seen the glory of the morning
|
| Turn into a silent night
|
| I’ve lived a million moments in the time
|
| It takes the sun to fade
|
| And it feels like it all happened in a day
|
| But oh what a great day it was
|
| We lived we loved
|
| And it all just sped up around the end
|
| Time flies these eyes
|
| Have seen the glory of the morning
|
| Turn into a silent night
|
| I’ve lived a million moments in the time
|
| It takes the sun to fade
|
| And it feels like it all happened in a day
|
| Time lies
|
| And I feel like I lived my life in a day |
