Years Pass Me By

Here's another song I've had in "the vault" for a while. I found it on a scratch sheet of paper the other day, and I tried to finish it up. Again, kind of a rough draft still. This one has music to it...it's very slow and mellow. Maybe I can get Josh or Daniel to sing it for me and record it. I'm going to soon write a blog on what kinds of things inspire songs for me. I think that could be interesting for some people. For instance, this song came to me after watching an episode of "House." =)


Remember the time that I
Watched as you waved goodbye?
So long another friend
Years pass me by.

Remember the winter cold
Playing out in the snow?
We had the time of our lives,
Years pass me by.

Chorus:
I wonder if I ever really
Learned how to be a man.
I wonder if I held you,
Would time reverse its plan?
Just one more minute, one more day
A chance to say goodbye
The moment elapsed
Years pass me by.

I remember days before
When time wasn’t such a chore
But now I realize
Years pass me by

It’s hard to understand
When nothing goes to plan
One less day before I die
Years pass me by

Chorus:
I wonder if I ever really
Learned how to be a man.
I wonder if I held you,
Would time reverse its plan?
Just one more minute, one more day
A chance to say goodbye
The moment elapsed
Years pass me by.
