In Time

With every shift of the minute hand
There's less time to say what needs to be said
River beds running red will soon be dry
Lifting heads to the eternal sky

Here's a song! Raise your voice! Let me hear you sing
Laughing loud, I'm glad to have you here with me
With you it's too fun not to run under golden sun
C'mon, there's no haste - let us face the day that just begun

With every shift of the minute hand
There's less time, can't flip back the hour's sand
Windy gales whisper still, but for how long?
It doesn't take much for things to go all wrong

There's a beat! Move your feet! Won't you dance with me?
So soon, hearts in tune, are you listening?
If this is a dream, let me be, don't wake me please
I've just learned how to get off of my knees

The skies are growing darker now, day by day
I know that life won't always go my way
Our time may have ended, but I'll always treasure
The many memories of minutes we spent together
'Cause with every shift of the minute hand
It's that much closer 'til we meet again
So I'll wait until late by our favorite shore
Until everything goes and flows like it did before
