Time ravages you,
time takes from you,
time is the ultimate power,
time takes life from a flower,

This is the beginning,
or it could be the end,
your life is just a cycle,
as it can turn and turn,

As you start young,
as you start to grow,
as you begin to know,
as you take the stroll,

We form love,
we form relationships,
we form partnerships,
we form into destiny,

We go in pairs,
we try and dare,
we begin with flare,
we try and snare,

As we grow older,
we get colder,
we get bolder,
it's such a order,

We have young ones,
we see them grow,
we see them behold,
it brings such a tear.
