Time as I¡¯ve known it
Doesn¡¯t take much time to pass by me
Minutes into days turn into months turn into years
They hurry by me
Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
Dreams full of promises
Hopes for the future
I¡¯ve had many
Dreams I can¡¯t remember now
Hopes that I¡¯ve forgotten
Faded memories
Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
And I love to see the morning
As it steals across the sky
I love to remember
And I love to wonder why
And I hope that I¡¯m around
So I can be there when I die
When I¡¯m gone
I hope that you will think of me
In moments when you¡¯re happy
And you¡¯re smiling
That a thought will comfort you
On cold and cloudy days
If you are crying
Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
And around and around
Words and music by John Denver
