Lyrics

[00:13.384] When I was a baby I hadn't a care in the world,
[00:18.718] But now I'm a man, my troubles fill my head,
[00:25.239] When I was five it was good to be alive,
[00:30.505] But now I'm a man, I wish that I were dead.
[00:36.488] My how time rushes by,
[00:42.490] The moment you're born you start to die,
[00:48.541] Time waits for no man,
[00:54.088] And your life's spent, it's over before you begin.
[01:06.037] As I sit here at my window,
[01:11.238] My life comes back to me,
[01:14.200] It's been so long since the good days,
[01:20.377] It's been so long.
[01:29.487] And I count up all the wasted years,
[01:35.558] The hopes and the fears,
[01:36.825] The laughs and the tears,
[01:38.407] And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong.
[01:50.271] When I was a boy I had the mind of a boy,
[01:55.669] But now I'm a man, ain't got no mind at all,
[02:01.519] When I was in my teens I had my share of dreams,
[02:07.191] But now I'm a man, ain't got no dreams at all.
[02:13.270] My how time rushes by,
[02:18.790] The moment you're born you start to die,
[02:24.510] Time waits for no man,
[02:30.146] And your life's spent, it's over before you begin.
[02:41.507] As I sit here at my window,
[02:46.776] My life comes back to me,
[02:49.611] It's been so long since the good days,
[02:52.711] It's been so long.
[03:04.870] And I count up all the wasted years,
[03:10.768] The hopes and the fears,
[03:12.435] The laughs and the tears,
[03:13.630] And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong.
