On the corner of a street stands a girl Who waits for her lover She's only 17, never been In love with another Though he's half an hour late, she'll wait For she loves him so she can't go But all the time she's aware people stare People stare Time goes so slowly when you're young Time hangs so heavy Don't wish time away now before your time has begun You're still young After work a woman runs for the bus Her children are waiting She was serving in a shop, couldn't stop Anticipating But the children want to play and they say "Oh, just let us be" and she sees That their childhood has already gone They've moved on Time goes too quickly when they're young Time steals them from you When the children were there You had no time to spare Not like now There's a quiet man who waits, never states His reason for living Never wanted to impose, still he never chose To stop giving And so he doesn't see the TV He waits for his son, the only one But his sonny doesn't come, he's having fun Having fun Time goes so fast when you're old You live in the past You can turn back the clock But time still rushes on Time goes on Time goes on Time goes on Time goes on
