Watching The Time Go By Lyrics - America

I was a child in the '60s 

So unsure of my direction 

I would follow where my friends and family would lead 

I was strengthened 

When I first heard the music 

Sparked by inspiration 

I was scarred by the pain 

Of constant departures 

I was wounded severely 

At an early age 

But my hopes hung high 

On the thought of the future 

I was happy to watch

The time go by 

Eye to eye 

Watching the time go by 

Watching the time go by 

Day for night 

Watching the time go by 

And then the world changed 

There was hope in the distance 

Til it raced up around us 

And proceeded to shine 

Like the moonlight 

Full of reckless abandon 

We would reach for the stars 

'Cause there was room at the top 

And food on the table 

We were doing quite well 

At such an early stage 

There was no need to stop 

Nor were we able 

And no one could see 

Photos 

The time go by 

Eye to eye 

Watching the time go by 

Watching the time go by 

Day for night 

Watching the time go by 

There are moments I regret more than the rest 

There are days I can't recall at all 

Looking back now, there's not much that I would change 

I am happy to watch 

The time go by 

Eye to eye 

Watching the time go by 

Watching the time go by 

Eye to eye 

Watching the time go by 

Watching the time go by 

Day for night 

Watching the time go by 

Watching the time go by 

Why, oh why 

Watching the time go by
