Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I saw your hands last night

A little more like mine

Dad leans on the doorway

Mom counts pills by nine

The photo on the shelf

Has started looking back

Same old smiling faces

But the years keep racing past

[Pre-Chorus]

And I swear the room got smaller

As the seasons rolled by

I keep trying to hold it

But it slips through my eyes

[Chorus]

Time keeps ticking faster

Mama, hold on close to me

Daddy, don’t let go of me

Time keeps ticking faster

I’m not ready for the change

But the days don’t wait for me

[Verse 2]

Your shoes by the front door

Wear out a little more

Your laugh still fills the hallway

Like it always did before

Now your steps are softer

Your voices break and mend

I catch myself saying

Please stay a while again

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know the road goes onward

Still I wish it would slow

I keep looking for a moment

That I don’t have to lose

[Chorus]

Time keeps ticking faster

Mama, hold on close to me

Daddy, don’t let go of me

Time keeps ticking faster

I’m not ready for the change

But the days don’t wait for me

[Bridge]

If I could stop one evening

I’d leave the porch light on

Put your stories in the quiet

And keep the night from moving on

But the moon still turns the window

And morning finds the street

So I’ll love you in the middle

Of the minutes leaving me

[Chorus]

Time keeps ticking faster

Mama, hold on close to me

Daddy, don’t let go of me

Time keeps ticking faster

I’m not ready for the change

But the days don’t wait for me
