“Heaven Knows (Where The Time Goes)”
Words, Music, and Paintings © 2012 Tom Sierak
VERSE 1)
I remember when I held you the very first time
And felt your tiny fingers cling to mine
I read you bedtime stories and sang you lullabies
VERSE 2)
Suddenly you went from crawling to climbing trees
And trying to catch October’s falling leaves
How quickly those years together faded into distant memories
CHORUS 1
And it seems like yesterday
You taught me how to play
And I learned to see the world through your eyes
There’s no reason or no rhyme for the fleeting hands of time
Where it goes Heaven knows, Heaven knows.
VERSE 3)
Sometimes it takes us years to understand
When you held my aging fingers in your hand
I cried just like that baby I held so long ago.
CHORUS 2
And then I heard you say,
Dad, you taught me the right way
And I learned to see the world through your eyes
Like the mystery of life and the fleeting hands of time
Where it goes, Heaven knows, Heaven knows where the time goes.
CHORUS 1
And it seems like yesterday
You taught me how to play
And I learned to see the world through your eyes
There’s no reason or no rhyme for the fleeting hands of time
Where it goes Heaven knows Heaven knows where the time goes
Where does the time go?
