As time marches on, thusly runs its course,

Who knows what the future will one day bring?

Life has been better, life has been much worse.

Many times I cry, so often I sing.

The joy in my heart, sometimes diminished

While I squander these days of my living.

I don't know what I started or finished

There is so much more I could be giving.

Time quickly moves away and does leave me

Now wondering what it is I should do.

I long to share who I am, what I see

With the love of my life, could it be you?

As time does fly and leaves my heart bereft

Nothing more, gained or lost, tempus fugit.
