Slip on By歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Unknown
[00:15.192]Early morning by the riverside
[00:18.695]Saw a old man waiting for a bite
[00:23.237]We started talking and he took me back in time
[00:29.888]He said I was young and thought I'd always be
[00:34.038]Then I woke up now I'm 83
[00:37.938]There's so much I missed oh how I wish
[00:41.838]I could get back all that time I wasted
[00:46.714]I see the tears of a young bride
[00:51.005]The morning that we had our first fight
[00:56.136]I should've held her tight
[01:02.024]And on the day that my momma died
[01:06.367]I hung up the phone and never said goodbye
[01:11.469]Don't let it slip on
[01:13.471]Don't let it slip on
[01:15.272]Don't let it slip on by
[01:20.270]Well he looked up tears in his eyes
[01:24.200]Said I'm not sure if you were looking for advice
[01:28.103]There's just something about you that reminds me of me
[01:35.800]It ain't easy always looking back
[01:39.350]But it seem these days that it's all I have
[01:43.585]What hurts me the most is knowing what could have been
[01:47.189]And if I listen real close sometimes I can
[01:52.262]Hear the sound of my little boy saying
[01:56.556]Daddy can you come play with me
[02:01.509]But I was too busy
[02:05.712]Then one day my baby grew up and went to war
[02:11.018]I never thought he'd be gone in the blink of an eye
[02:16.425]So don't let it slip on
[02:18.627]Don't let it slip on
[02:20.527]Don't let it slip on by
[02:24.833]I shook the old man's hand and thanks him
[02:28.882]And I drove home as fast as I could go
[02:36.421]Just to let her know
[02:41.021]That I need her
[02:44.672]That I love her
[02:48.523]That I'm never gonna let another moment like this slip on by
[02:55.355]Don't let it slip on by
[02:59.356]
[03:12.672]We're only here for a little while
[03:16.915]And God give us only so much precious time
[03:21.719]So don't let it slip on
[03:24.021]Don't let it slip on
[03:25.924]Don't let it slip on by
