Time Goes Away

He took me to the hillside He liked to take me there He took me every Saturday He put flowers in my hair And we laughed like my mother said she once did With my father on his birthday when they went swimming And he took her hand into his And he told her that he loved her And his words held meaning, then How do we make these moments last And, how do we get them to stay When everything passes and time goes away He took me to the theater He liked to take me there He took me every Saturday We didn't talk in there And we laughed like my mother said she once did With her sister on her birthday when she was seventeen They took her car out for a spin Along the ocean with the top down And life held meaning then How do we make these moments last How do we get them to stay When everything passes and time goes away And how do we make these moments last And, how do we get them to stay When everything passes and time goes away
