Lyrics

IT GOES BY FAST

VERSE 1:
When I was a boy,
Walkin’ down by the tracks,
What in the world did I know?
I knew the world wasn’t flat,
I was faster than Jack,
And I knew that I’d never grow old.
Time is a game of Hide and Seek,
It will catch you when it can.
Now I’m walkin’ along those tracks,
Tryin’ to understand……

CHORUS:
And it goes by fast.
And it’s true that nothing lasts.
I know time must pass,
But it goes by fast.

VERSE 2:
I was seventeen when I fell in love,
What in the world did I know?
Hypnotized, those beautiful eyes,
Lost in a world of my own.
Love is a game of Hide and Seek,
It will blind you ‘cause it can.
But I’ll find my way
And I’ll live each day,
Tryin’ to understand…..

CHORUS:
And it goes by fast.
And it’s true that nothing lasts.
I know time must pass,
But it goes by fast.

BRIDGE:
Time and Life and Love,
And all of their mysteries,
Nothing I have learned
Is what it seems to be.

VERSE 3:
So here I am,
I’m a full grown man,
What in the world do I know?
I’ve found through the years
Of laughter and tears,
You don’t have to do what you’re told.
Life is a game, you take your chance,
And you play the best you can.
So I stumble along,
And I’ll carry on,
Tryin’ to understand….

CHORUS:
And it goes by fast.
And it’s true that nothing lasts.
I know time must pass,
But it goes by fast.

REPEAT CHORUS:
Yes it goes by fast
And it’s true that nothing lasts
I know time must pass,
But it goes by fast.
It goes by fast…...
It goes so fast.
