Time Lyrics - Singles - Ray Scott

My poor Mom was in labor 12 hours and I was born around 6:00 AM 

For the time it took her to bring me in this world, you'd've thought the girl was gonna have twins 

I'd be a day older if that doctor hadn't told her I'd be better off if I came late 

She said fine and that gave him plenty of time to get in 18 holes that day 

Chorus: 

Yeah time, time, everything takes time 

From grabbin' hold of life to turnin' it loose 

And in the time that went by while I sang you those lines 

We all lost a minute or two 

There's a 15 year old ridin' shotgun down the road, he can't wait to get behind the wheel 

And a grandma in the kitchen washin' dishes and wishin' she still knew how 16 feels 

Every year we get older, all the months seem shorter, kinda like weeks, weeks seem like days 

Yeah, the hours fly by when you're havin' a good time, but they don't stand still when you ain't 

Repeat Chorus 

Time only moves forward every minute leanin' towards that day 

Our hair is gone or gray 

We all make it and we use it, we waste it and abuse it 

While the clock just laughs in our face 

Repeat Chorus 

Yeah time, time, we got nothin' but time 

And there ain't a dad-gum thing about it we can do 

And in the time that went by while I sang you those lines 

We lost another minute or two 

So, let's not lose another minute or two
