Now as the wheel of life turns faster
Now as the wheel of life turns faster
Now as the seasons seem to fly
Now as the seasons seem to fly
I see so many things at last, but didn't see the time go by
I see so many things at last, but didn't see the time go by
I've known delight, I've known disaster
I've known delight, I've known disaster
The caviar, the humble pie
The caviar, the humble pie
From the absurd to the sublime
From the absurd to the sublime
I didn't see the time go by
I didn't see the time go by
I didn't see the years roll on
I didn't see the years roll on
I didn't know the road would bend
I didn't know the road would bend
Refused to see when youth was gone
Refused to see when youth was gone
Pretending it might never end
Pretending it might never end
Now, there is price to pay for every day I threw away
Now there is price to pay for every day I threw away
It seems I've wasted half a lifetime
It seems I've wasted half a lifetime
Within the blinking of an eye
Within the blinking of an eye
I didn't hear the midnight chime
I didn't hear the midnight chime
I didn't see the time go by
I didn't see the time go by
In still of nights and brief romances
In still of nights and brief romances
I kissed the girls and made them cry
I kissed the girls and made them cry
While there were balconies to climb
While there were balconies to climb
I didn't see the time go by
I didn't see the time go by
I was the guy with all the answers,
I was the guy with all the answers,
The halfway-truths, the little lies
The halfway-truths, the little lies
So sure, so certain in my prime
So sure, so certain in my prime
I didn't see the time go by
I didn't see the time go by
I hit the heights, I bit the dirt
I hit the heights, I bit the dirt
I left some wreckage in my way
I left some wreckage in my way
I didn't see that lies can hurt
I didn't see that lies can hurt
I didn't know how hearts can break
I didn't know how hearts can break
And now, they come to haunt my mind,
And now, they come to haunt my mind,
The lives I touched and left behind
The lives I touched and left behind
I've sung a hundred songs of longing,
I've sung a hundred songs of longing,
Of sweet regret and hope run dry
Of sweet regret and hope run dry
I've searched for melody and rhyme,
I've searched for melody and rhyme,
But never saw how time can fly,
But never saw how time can fly,
Newer saw the darkening sky
Newer saw the darkening sky
I was a minstrel of my time
I was a minstrel of my time
Who did not see the time go by
Who did not see the time go by
