Time
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
It hung above the mantel
Over that wood stove
Tick-tock, yeah, that old clock was always moving slow
We got it from grandpa, back in '93
He hung it up there on that wall
Turned and said to me
Time is short and it goes by too fast
Don't you waste it, don't you waste it
Live and love
Like each day's your last
And you can't get it back
'Cause you can't get it back
Make the most, make the most
Of the time you have
Well I was just a kid
And I guess that's why
I forgot the words he said as years went by
I got a job and moved away and life just got crazy
Working, chasing dreams kept me way too busy
Until one summer evening
I picked up the phone
Grandma was on the line, said, boy, you best come home
'Cause grandpa is fading fast, I think he's going home
It stopped me in my tracks, as I thought back to long ago
Time is short and it goes by too fast
Don't you waste it, don't you waste it
Live and love like each day's your last
And you can't get it back
'Cause you can't get it back
Make the most, make the most of the time you have
All too soon, the future turns into the past
Don't be left with only memories
Of things that just don't last
Time is short and it goes by too fast
Don't you waste it
Live and love
Like each day's your last
And you can't get it back
Make the most, make the most
Of the time you have
Of the time you have
It hung above the mantel
Over that wood stove
Tick-tock, yeah, that old clock was always moving slow oh oh
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
It hung above the mantel
Over that wood stove
Tick-tock, yeah, that old clock was always moving slow
We got it from grandpa, back in '93
He hung it up there on that wall
Turned and said to me
Time is short and it goes by too fast
Don't you waste it, don't you waste it
Live and love
Like each day's your last
And you can't get it back
'Cause you can't get it back
Make the most, make the most
Of the time you have
Well I was just a kid
And I guess that's why
I forgot the words he said as years went by
I got a job and moved away and life just got crazy
Working, chasing dreams kept me way too busy
Until one summer evening

'Cause grandpa is fading fast, I think he's going home
It stopped me in my tracks, as I thought back to long ago
Time is short and it goes by too fast
Don't you waste it, don't you waste it
Live and love like each day's your last
And you can't get it back
'Cause you can't get it back
Make the most, make the most of the time you have
All too soon, the future turns into the past
Don't be left with only memories
Of things that just don't last
Time is short and it goes by too fast
Don't you waste it
Live and love
Like each day's your last
And you can't get it back
Make the most, make the most
Of the time you have
Of the time you have
It hung above the mantel
Over that wood stove
Tick-tock, yeah, that old clock was always moving slow oh oh
