So many things have passed me by
unnoticed by my touch
and though I’ve done so many things
I’ve probably missed as much

And when I think how much I’ve missed
it makes me wonder why
that how without the slightest thought
I could let so much pass by

For as these things are passing by
my life is passing too
and so too are the dreams I have
of things I’ve hoped to do

And if I do not do them now
while I’m still very young
as quickly as my youth arrived
it will have come and gone

Then gone with it will be my dreams
as I’ll look back and say
I wish I hadn’t said tomorrow
to what I could have done today

For then there will be no more days
or time to wonder why
how all my dreams have slipped away
and life just passed me by.
