WHERE DOES TIME GO? (c) 1992 Monica E. Gómez 1st Verse: Sunrise starts the clock today, warm hands brush the sky. Shadows cross the sun’s pale face as time passes by. He lies in a darkened room, calm hands curled in sleep. Dreams move over his fair face. The Lord his soul does keep. Refrain: Where does time go? Where does time go, hour by hour, and day by day, taking our young, our young away? Verse 2: He stands before the mirror, strong, straight and tall. He combs thick auburn hair. I watch from the hall. The clock strikes. A car horn honks. He strides toward the door. One more quick goodbye and he’s gone to grow some more. Refrain Verse 3: He builds evening fires for us. Skilled hands kindle light. We share warmth and memories with the summer night. I see his still silhouette, a man grown so soon. He stares at the backyard flames while his dreams move ‘cross the moon. Refrain |
