Wild How The Years Fly By Lyrics

I sit out on this porch

Listening to birds cry

Dreaming of when I was young and wild

Like the cars that now race by

I look down at this old body

That my mind occupies

Oh it's wild how the years fly by

I can picture lil' Rosie

Playing in the yard

And the time she climbed to the top of the oak

Fell out and broke her arm

It seems like only yesterday

She left for school and we said goodbye

Oh it's wild how the years fly by

Oh it's wild how the years fly by

Fly, oh they fly

Like the water in the streams

And the clouds in the sky

And I try, oh I try

To slow it all down

But time won't comply

The years seem like months

Oh it's wild how the years fly by

I remember when my daddy

Helped me fix the roof

I learned more in that afternoon

Than I ever learned in school

It's been 33yrs since Daddy died

Oh it's wild how the years fly by

I married my sweetheart

In the summer of '72

I carried her through this front door

Like all men should do

We sit here on this front porch

Wrinkled but with a twinkle in our eye

Oh it's wild how the years fly by

Oh it's wild how the years fly by

Fly, oh they fly

Like the water in the streams

And the clouds in the sky

And I try, oh I try

To slow it all down

But time won't comply

The years seem like months

Oh it's wild how the years fly by
