Time goes by and by
Same as life
We all know the moments when we are going to cry
But life and time will still pass us by
Spending moments with that love one
As their life winds down
Our faces in a frown
Just remember those times you've shared
While trying to get ourselves prepared
Loving the way they cared
Just remember this time isn't about us
Time goes by and by
As we sit and cry
Maybe even wonder why
But don't fret
Just remember those times shared
And that God got him in his hands
Because we can't begin to understand
That time spent away
We can't get back
Cherish every moment
Cherish every picture
Cherish every laugh
Cherish every tear drop
Don't give up
Love until you can't love anymore
Live until you can't live anymore
Time awaits no one
All we have is right now
The past is gone
Yesterday is gone
Time will always move forward not backwards
As the seasons come and go
Memories never leave
They’re carried in our hearts
Long after we grieve
So hold them a little closer
When they’re still around
For one day we’ll search for their voice
But won’t hear a sound
Time goes by and by
Yet love remains the same
Though someone leaves this world
We’ll always speak their name
Time awaits no one
All we have is right now
So love with all your heart
Before life takes its final bow
