As Time Marches On Lyrics

Is this how the futures meant to feel?

Is this all that's meant to be?

If it is no one warned me

Is this what we'll call the good old days?

Will these new memories stay?

Or is this just a blurry haze?

Try live up this fleeting phase

Soon your face will wither and age

And no one you know will be the same

The present is not always a gift

But it's the only thing that is

The past is was and the future's if

And as time marches on

I'm still here where we begun

And as time marches on

I still know the words to that old song

I weep when I stop to look

Look at us playing grown ups

Sometime soon our day is done

But we'll haunt these lands from far beyond

Today is tomorrow's yesterday

Enjoy, prosper, keep your faith

And I can't tell you it will be alright

I can't promise it will be fine

I'll wipe those tears from your hurting eyes

And I can't control the speed of time

I can't talk to this cruel life

But don't you dare lose your shining smile

And as time marches on

I'm still here where we begun

And as time marches on

I still know the words to that old song

I weep when I stop to look

Look at us playing grown ups

Sometime soon our day is done

But we'll haunt these lands from far beyond

Today is tomorrow's yesterday

Enjoy, prosper, keep your faith

And as time marches on

I'm still here where we begun

And as time marches on

I still know the words to that old song

I weep when I stop to look

Look at us playing grown ups

Sometime soon our day is done

But we'll haunt these lands from far beyond

Today is tomorrow's yesterday

Enjoy, prosper, keep your faith

And on a spring morn I walk and I skim stones

By the old lake where we once swam

Some were surfers some were swimmers

Some drifted away in the choppy waves

And on a spring morn I walk and I skim stones

By the old lake where we once swam

Many gave up others gave in

I for one will never fold

I walk through this gallery of joy and agony

These pictures proud hung on the wall

And all of these gallant days are all stocked with memories

They'll never bore when your heart grows frail and old
