Where The Time Goes Lyrics

Oh, she doesn't know - where the time goes

But it doesn't run one way like a river flows

It circles round her head like the wind blows

It stops, it starts, it catches on her heart

Still she doesn't know - where the time goes

Oh, where the time goes

Spring forward - isn't that what her daddy used to say

He's dead now 20 years, but he just said it yesterday

So she gets up on a stool to set that old clock on the wall

But it isn't there, and when did she grow so tall

Her husband eases her back down to the floor

And she can't remember what she was doing up there anymore

Oh, she doesn't know - where the time goes

But it doesn't run one way like a river flows

It circles round her head like the wind blows

It stops, it starts, it catches on her heart

But still she doesn't know - where the time goes

Oh, where the time goes

She lost that hour of sleep now she's running late

Mama's gonna yell, how's she gonna make straight A's

But her husband says, "Hush now, it's all right.

Look, the sun ain't even up, it's dark outside.

Come on back to bed, honey, it's the middle of the night"

And he promises in the morning he'll give her a ride

Oh, she doesn't know - where the time goes

But it doesn't run one way like a river flows

It circles round her head like the wind blows

It stops, it starts, it catches on her heart

But still she doesn't know - where the time goes

Oh, where the time goes

No, she doesn't know - where the time goes

You can change time, keep time, take time, make time

Time gets the last laugh every time

Time gets the last laugh every time

Time gets the last laugh every time
