I Guess We'll Never Know

Sittin' under an old shade tree
Listenin' to the wind.
She sings an old familiar song.
She's a good and faithful friend.
My mind started to wander
To a time when I was young.
When all I did was play all day
And my nights were filled with fun.

Turn back the clock.
Let's go back in time
Back to those younger days
When we were in our prime.
We never seemed to tire
We were always on the go.
Just where all that time went,
I guess we'll never know.

Memories of simpler times
Down by the riverside
Skinny dippin' with our friends
Or just sittin', watchin' the tide.
Back before life got busy
With jobs and other stuff
Workin' too many hours
And never gettin' enough.

Turn back the clock.
Let's go back in time
Back to those younger days
When we were in our prime.
We never seemed to tire
We were always on the go.
Just where all that time went,
I guess we'll never know.

Life goes on, so they say
We have to go with the flow.
Why it flows by so damned fast
I guess we'll never know.

Turn back the clock.
Let's go back in time
Back to those younger days
When we were in our prime.
We never seemed to tire
We were always on the go.
Just where all that time went,
I guess we'll never know.

Very nice. Where does the time go? The older we get the less time we seem to have to enjoy life :)
