Time Is Ticking

Memories, a summer breeze I'm on the bus almost getting home Out on the street, Miami heat I miss the smell of my dad's cologne And it seems to me like a melody My favorite song on the radio When you know Turn it back before it goes My front door, the corner store Climbin' the tree in my old backyard My mother's smile from ear to ear When I got all A's on my report card I can see them all when I close my eyes It doesn't seem that long ago When you know You turn it back before it goes Time is tickin' away, yeah But it was just yesterday, yeah Though it'll never be gone, yeah We gotta live for today Ice Cream from the Dairy Queen On the corner by the Orange Bowl My grandma's voice always tellin' me I'd understand when I was old You can make mistakes, it'll be ok But when you learn it's a pot o' gold When you know To turn it back before it goes Time is tickin' away, yeah Time is tickin' away But it was just yesterday, yeah But it was just yesterday Though it'll never be gone, yeah Never be gone, never, never be gone We gotta live for today Got to live for today Everything you live and you do Becomes a part of you, so You'll get back what you spread around Everything you think and you say Is gonna show up some way So why not always take the higher ground Time is tickin' away, yeah El tiempo pasa y no vuelve jamás Solo lo bueno quiero recordar But it was just yesterday, yeah Solo este día es el hay que vivir Hacia adelante yo voy a seguir Though it will never be gone, yeah Solo te enseña la vida es verdad Y lo que buscas lo vas a encontrar We've got to live for today Hay que vivir para hoy Time is tickin' away, yeah El tiempo pasa But it was just yesterday, yeah Y no vuelve jamás Though it will never be gone, yeah Solo lo bueno, solo lo bueno quiero recordar We've got to live for today Hay que vivir para hoy Time is tickin' away Y no vuelve jamás Time is tickin' away But it was just yesterday, yeah
