of a time Lyrics

Of a Time (2018, 2022)

My earliest memory

bright like a jewel

A woman, my mother

Walks me down to the school

She's young like the morning

Life's a book, open wide

Time…on my side

Fifteen years old

Some promises broken

Remembering things that are

Best left unspoken

Facing the future while

The past makes me cry

Time…moving by

Not many years later and

A few things make sense

A beautiful girl

A white picket fence

Young to be married

But I couldn't be shy

Time…to decide

One baby, then two, they're

Life's beautiful things

The days start early

The alarm always rings

A joy and a challenge

Life's assembly line

Time…no longer mine

It seemed overnight

They were women, not girls

In the blink of the eye

The future unfurls

They hear the world calling

What I hear is "goodbye"

Time to sit and cry

Enough of lamenting

Cause it won't bring them back

What is accomplished

If I stare at the black?

I'll search the horizon

For some new things to try

Time…to fly

A day's gonna come

I'll reach the end of the game

I hope the people who knew me will

Remember my name

And stories will linger

The best ones will rhyme

They'll say...

He…was of a time
