The Slow March Of Time Flies By

[Verse 1]
Friday night in early fall
Your hair was wet and darker blonde
No one home, just you and me
That's heaven when you're seventeen

[Verse 2]
Photos fade like memories
The music stays, the color leaves
Like water on a piece of wood
Some of it sinks in for good

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well how could I have known
That twelve years on down the line
I'd be singing to your picture
In my mind?

[Chorus]
I can't quite recall the man I was
It seems I blinked, and now he's me
When did all thеse just-the-other-days
Turn into distant mеmories?
While you're searching for a rhyme
The slow march of time flies by

[Verse 3]
From time to time, I hear your name
And look you up to stoke the pain
You got a dog, just like you said
Glad something went the way we planned

[Chorus]
I can't quite recall the man I was
It seems I blinked, and now he's me
When did all these just-the-other-days
Turn into distant memories?
While you're searching for a rhyme
The slow march of time flies by
