How Time Flies

I used to hold you in my arms on a dark night and sing you lullabies

Now I realize how time flies

Your first step, your first word, your first smile, your first tears

I dried them as you cried

Now I realize how time flies

Now I realize how time flies

Today you're telling me your own little stories

You've learned to fantasize

Now I realize how time flies

All these years have gone so fast since the first time

I looked into your eyes

Now I realize how time flies

Now I realize how time flies

The joy and the tears and the years come and go

I'll hold you in my arms

As I realize how time flies

One day he came and he took your name away

Now that you're grown you will live on your own

And I realize how time flies

As I realize how time flies

As I realize how time flies

How my heart sighs and

How time flies
