Lyrics

[00:34.92] Said a small boy once asked when will I grow up
[00:39.04] When will I see what grown-ups do see
[00:43.34] In his fight to come of age
[00:45.72] He will act an older age
[00:47.09] To be recognized is when I'm not unmasked
[00:51.96] And mama used to say take your time young man
[00:55.90] And mama used to say don't you rush to get old
[01:00.08] And mama used to say take it in your stride
[01:04.39] And mama used to say live your life live it
[01:09.60] As the years went rushing by
[01:12.03] He would cut down on his age
[01:14.08] He would tell his girl of how it used to be yeah
[01:18.34] How his mommy passed away
[01:19.53] But these lines she would say
[01:22.67] And at that time he couldn't understand
[01:26.93] And mama used to say take your time young man
[01:30.63] And mama used to say don't you rush to get old
[01:35.00] And mama used to say take it in your stride
[01:39.38] And mama used to say live your life listen
[01:43.63]
[01:44.75] You're young, so young, don't hold on back
[01:48.88] Just do what you want to do
[01:53.42] Now is the time for you to strive
[01:57.86] For you to get better at what you are doing oh
[02:04.93]
[02:12.92] To hold it back now listen to your mama boy
[02:16.35] As a small boy once asked when will I grow up
[02:24.80] When will I see what grown-ups do see
[02:28.07] In his fight to come of age
[02:30.40] He would act an older age
[02:32.40] To be recognized is when I'm not unmasked
[02:36.34] And mama used to say take your time young man
[02:40.48] And mama used to say don't you rush to get old
[02:44.98] And mama used to say take it in your stride
[02:49.23] Mama used to say live your life
[02:53.73] And mama used to say take your time young man
[02:58.18] And mama used to say don't you rush to get old
[03:02.25] And mama used to say take it in your stride
[03:06.62] And mama used to say live your life
[03:11.24] And mama used to say take your time young man
[03:15.45] And mama used to say don't you rush to get old
[03:19.88] And mama used to say take it in your stride
[03:24.20] And mama used to say live your life, live your life
[03:28.59] And mama used to say take your time, take your time young man
[03:33.40] And mama used to say don't you rush, don't you rush to get old
[03:37.84] And mama used to say take it in your stride
[03:41.73] And mama used to say live your life, live your life
