Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Can't Repeat I woke the other day And saw my world has changed The past is over but tomorrow?s wishful thinking I can't hold onto what's been done I can't grab onto what's to come And I'm just wishing I could stop, but Life goes on Come of age Can't hold on Turn the page Time rolls on Wipe these eyes Yesterday laughs Tomorrow cries Memories are bittersweet The good times we can't repeat Those days are gone and we can never get them back Now we must move ahead Despite our fear and dread We're all just wishing we could stop, but Life goes on Come of age Can't hold on Turn the page Time rolls on Wipe your eyes Yesterday laughs Tomorrow cries With all our joys and fears Wrapped in forgotten years The past is laughing as today just slips away Time tears down what we've made And sets another stage And I'm just wishing we could stop Life goes on Come of age Can't hold on Turn the page Time rolls on Wipe these eyes Yesterday laughs Tomorrow cries Times move on
