Time (vocal version)

I have earlier posted an instrumental version of this song and I always promissed myself that I would write lyrics for it.

I take a long time to write lyrics. Especially this song took time because I had a clear idea what I wanted to say in the song and it was difficult to find the right words. But here it is.

A piece with huge orchestration. One of those that took quite some time to make. Originally made in 2019. I remixed it and replaced some sound libraries in 2023. And in 2024 I added the lyrics and recorded it. The voice is Kevin from Synth V.

Lyrics

Time goes all too fast
We live as our lives will last, forever
Time is gonna get us
We can't let it go to waste
We have just one life
Just one short and precious life
Clock ticking
Cherish every moment
Seize the day and do your best

Time - childhood memories
All the friends all the people
Those that came to be
Where are you now
Are you still around
Oh I wish I could let you see
How much you meant to me
When life got tough
The journey grew rough
We learned to cope with less
Somehow we rose
Courage never froze
Searching love and happiness
Life's sweet song, a fleeting rhyme
The time, the sands of time

All too fast
We live as our lives will last, forever
Time is gonna get us
We can't let it go to waste
We have just one life
Just one short and so precious life
Clock ticking
Cherish every moment
Seize the day and do your best

One day, older and wise
You'll realize, nothing is forever
And the people you love most will pass away
And that day you'll feel all alone
What once was your home is empty and lonely
And you think of the ones that depend on you
Why can love never last
Can not stay in the past
Passion's prime
Always losing to time

Today is a day you never saw before
And never will see again ever more
Have no more regrets
'Cause life slips through your hand
Like small grains of sand
And time ticking on when we're gone
Oh the time, that precious time

All to fast
We live as our lives will last, forever
Time is gonna get us
We can't let it go to waste
We have just one life
Just one short and precious life
Clock ticking
Cherish every moment
Seize the day and do your best
