time will pass you by

passing seasons over fade away

into misty clouds of autumn grey

as i sit here looking at the street

little figures quickly moving feet

i'm just a pebble on the beach

and i sit and wonder why

little people running around

never knowing why

life is just a precious minute

baby

open up your eyes and see it

baby

give yourself a better chance

because time will pass you

right on by

this big old world is spinning like a top

come and help me now and make it stop

all you have to do is live for now

come along with me i'll show you how

take my hand i'll show you how to live

why wait until tomorrow?

take my hand i'll lead the way to a brighter day

life is just a precious minute

baby

open up your eyes and see it

baby

give yourself a better chance

because time will pass you

right on by

time

time is gonna pass you by so quickly

and it wait's for no man

no

no

oh baby

life is just a precious minute

baby

open up your eyes and see it

baby

give yourself a better chance

because time will pass you by

life is just a precious minute

baby

open up your eyes and see it

baby

give yourself a better chance

because time will pass you

right on by

don't let it pass you

don't let it pass you

don't let it

don't let it
