Peter Michaels Jr. - Where Did the Time Go? Lyrics

Do you remember when you were just a kid
Things seemed so much better then, didn't it
Playing with your toys with all the other girls and boys
And everyone played fairly

It was the first day of school
Just like that you meet new people, isn't that cool
But oh, you just did not fit in, and what a shame
You'll never make new friends, you say; but all that's gonna change

Middle school. It makes ya cringe just thinkin' 'bout that time
You did some things you're not too proud of, and that's just fine
'Cause it's past. But can you still remember your first crush
You know it didn't last

And now you're grown up, your life starts to unfold
You'll meet a cute guy or girl maybe, so I've been told
And now as you look back, you just got to know
Just one thing, just one thing

Where did the time go
How much did I grow
How did the years float away
Where did the time go

Ten years later you've got a house and a family
You've got yourself a wife or husband, and baby makes three
You're happy. Now you're all grown up
You've settled down. Now you're all grown up

Your little girl turned five this year, she's getting so tall
Now it's her time to go to school in the coming fall
And oh, as you see her say a new hello
To a new friend, you'll ask yourself

Where did the time go
How much did she grow
How did the years float away
Where did the time go

'Daddy, mommy I met a boy, and he's kinda cool
Can he come home and study here with me after school'
And you look at your teenage daughter with a warm and gentle grin
You chuckle to yourself and tell her 'let him in'

Years go by and that boy she met, his name is Anthony
They want to be wed now in holy matrimony
(Well I mean, they've been going out for like, eight years now. He's part of the family)
How could you say no? And as you're walking down the aisle it hits ya

Where did the time go
How much did they grow
How did the years float away
Where did the time go

Hey now, you got a grandchild, his name is Anthony
He's daddy's boy and momma's joy, and you're just filled with glee
As you take him in your arms he says 'I love you' with a smile
Mom and dad don't have a house yet so, so they stay a while

Ten years later little Anthony is mixing with the wrong crowd
His parents move around way too much for being way too loud
But, you got other things to worry about like your heart, and how it's starting to go
You lie there on your death bed and ask yourself

Where did the time go
How much did we grow
How did the years float away
Where did the time go
