Grandaddy seemed to talk in riddles 'round the end |
|
It took me a lot more livin' to understand what he meant |
|
When he said |
|
I was born at daylight walkin' tall by seven |
|
Gratuated ten a.m. got saved by eleven |
|
I took her hand it was straight up noon |
|
Had three kids before two |
|
They all grew and left in the afternoon |
|
Time flies these eyes |
|
Have seen the glory of the morning |
|
Turn into a silent night |
|
I've lived a million moments in the time |
|
It takes the sun to fade |
|
And it feels like it all happened in a day |
|
His eyes glistened as he talked about his autumn afternoon |
|
How they held each other in the chill of a silver moon |
|
He got all chocked up when midnight fell |
|
She squeezed his hand the clock struck twelve |
|
She let go and he was all by himself |
|
Time flies these eyes |
|
Have seen the glory of the morning |
|
Turn into a silent night |
|
I've lived a million moments in the time |
|
It takes the sun to fade |
|
And it feels like it all happened in a day |
|
But oh what a great day it was |
|
We lived we loved |
|
And it all just sped up around the end |
|
Time flies these eyes |
|
Have seen the glory of the morning |
|
Turn into a silent night |
|
I've lived a million moments in the time |
|
It takes the sun to fade |
|
And it feels like it all happened in a day |
|
Time lies |
|
And I feel like I lived my life in a day |
