Tick tock, tick tock—the seconds slip out of our hands,
Tick tock, tick tock—like waves that erase what they land.
Tick tock, tick tock—I try not to think what it means,
That loving you turns all my tomorrows to dreams.
Tick tock, tick tock—your laughter is light in the air,
Tick tock, tick tock—I hold every moment with care.
Tick tock, tick tock—like time is a thief drawing near,
And I am afraid it will steal you from here.
Tick tock, tick tock—I trace every line of your face,
Tick tock, tick tock—each second I try to embrace.
Tick tock, tick tock—I cling to the warmth that you give,
And fear all the days we may not get to live.
Tick tock, tick tock—so stay just a little while more,
Tick tock, tick tock—you’re all that I’m counting time for.
Tick tock, tick tock—when everything else comes undone,
You are my moment, the only one.
