I met a girl when I was twenty one
It wasn’t much later that we had a son
And then a girl, five years after that
Now he’s graduated and she’s thirteen
Talk about time well you see what I mean
You ask yourself…where did all that go?
Chorus:
When you’re a kid all you got is time
But as you get older it flies on by…
You ask yourself…where did all that go?
My son and his wife are flying in today
To watch me give his sister away
I ask myself…where did all that go?
It wasn’t long ago that she needed a hug
Or me and the boy wrestled ‘round on the rug
I ask myself…where did all that go?
(Chorus)
When you’re a kid all you got is time
But as you get older it flies on by…
You ask yourself…where did all that go?
It was quiet for a time once the kids got gone
But then those grandkids came along
I ask myself…where did all that go?
They were the perfect verse to just an ok song
But before I knew it they too were grown
I ask myself…where did all that go?
(Chorus)
When you’re a kid all you got is time
But as you get older it flies on by…
You ask yourself…where did all that go?
I reach over and take her hand
She’s been my wife, she’s been my best friend
And there’s my kids, and grandkids ‘round the bed
I tell ‘em don’t worry that I’ll be fine
I’ll just be waitin’ on the other side
And I ask myself…Where did all that go………….?
