Norm Crouse - Lens of the Years Lyrics

Looking at life through the lens of the years
Hard to remember the hopes and fears
Can't always capture in words or a phrase
Lessons of life or the error of my ways

Babies are born and old people die
Some folks accept it; some wonder why
Future or present or live in the past
However you live it, life goes by too fast

There's one thing I know way deep down within my heart
Even if I could, I wouldn't go back to the start
Regardless of all my losing and winning
With all my mistakes, the world keeps right on spinning

Boiled down to essence
Life comes back to today
We make up own meaning
As we go along the way

I'm one among billions; just part of the whole
I see that quite clearly as I sit here and grow old
Not sure it matters what I do or what I got
But I know I'm here and I like life a lot

Babies are born and old people die
Some folks accept it; some wonder why
Future or present or live in the past
However you live it, life goes by too fast

However you live it, life goes by way too fast
