A Million Miles From Home

Time is a lot like distance

When a memory is concerned

The older we get the further we are

From the things that we once learned

 

One more day is another mile

From the way that we were taught

The priceless time when we grew up

A memory that can't be bought

 

The day we finished high school

We thought that we were grown

One more mile and another day

As we set out on our own

 

Then the day that we got married

We would walk a few more miles

Another day and further away

As we faced out troubles and trials

 

Time is a lot like distance

Every second that we roam

It slips away a little each day

'Til were a million miles from home
