Maturity that looks back and ponders the days when 'tomorrow' was always available and full of promise and adventure. That luxury is gone and it is time to take account of today and the time left to us.
Lyrics
When I was a young man
So many years ago
My tomorrows seemed so far away
Always in a hurry
To say goodbye and go
Always looking toward another day
When I hit the road
I hit it fast
Finally on my own at last
Left my memories in the past
Over the horizon
There a river flows
There tomorrow always finds me
I will follow
Where ever that river goes
Leave my yesterdays behind me
My yesterdays
They come so fast
So many things that do not last
You only find them in the past
(chorus)
That ole river of time
Runs swifter than you know
How far it carries me
Is not for me to know
Now as I think of all
The days that drifted by
Another sunrise fills the sky
Thinking of a young man
So many years ago
Those tomorrows were so far away
Always in a hurry
To find the open road
Always thought there'd be another day
My yesterdays
They came so fast
So many things that did not last
They lie there in the past
(chorus)
That ole river of time
Runs swifter than you know
How far it carries me
Is not for me to know
Now as I think of all
The days that drifted by
Another sunrise fills the sky
(chorus 2)
That ole river of time
Runs swifter than you know
How far it carries me
Is not for me to know
Now as I think of all
The years that drifted by
Another sunset paints the sky
(chorus 2)
That ole river of time
Runs swifter than you know
How far it carries me
Is not for me to know
Now as I sit and watch
The world drifting by
Another sunset paints the sky
