Sometimes I know
Sometimes I care
Moments I lost
Moments so rare

Chorus:
Oh the passing years
Oh the passing years

From a childhood balcony
Looking below
Into the garden
Of too long ago

Chorus

So warm your face
Pressed against mine
From close by I see
Your eyelids, your lines

Chorus

Bridge:
Time is an innocent thief
Time is an innocent thief

So here in this room
With mercy on trays
I dwell in my thoughts
And number my days

Oh the passing years
