I packed my bags for a weekend trip
To that sleepy town by the lake
Where the clocks move slow and the coffee's strong
And nobody's in a rush to wake
The postcard says Wish you were here
But I'm wondering where I've been
All these years just slipping by
Like sand between my fingers
Where does time go
Tell me where does time go
One day I'm young and full of plans
Next thing I know I'm old and asking
Where does time go
Where does time go
I met a man at the corner store
Said he's lived here forty years
Watched the tourists come and go
While he's been counting tears
He laughed and said You city folks
Always chasing something new
But here the sun still rises
Same as it did before
Where does time go
Tell me where does time go
One day I'm young and full of plans
Next thing I know I'm old and asking
Where does time go
Where does time go
Maybe time doesn't leave us
Maybe we leave time behind
Running toward tomorrow
When today's still on my mind
Now I'm sitting by the water
Watching ripples disappear
Every wave that hits the shore
Says the same thing in my ear
Love never lies it just waits
For us to slow down and see
That all these moments matter
More than where we're going
Where does time go
Tell me where does time go
One day I'm young and full of plans
Next thing I know I'm old and asking
Where does time go
Where does time go
Where does time go
(Where does it go)
Where does time go
(Tell me where)
Maybe time's not going anywhere
Maybe time's right here
