Lyrics
0:37I see a family in the sun
0:40Out in the garden having fun
0:43But where am I?
0:46You asked if I'd be gone for long
0:49I closed my eyes and bit my tongue
0:52And told a lie
0:56I know what it means
0:58If all my dreams are keeping me away from you
1:04I just close my eyes
1:06And now my life's in double time
1:09Come hold these hands you're slipping through
1:1316 summers
1:17Is that all I'm gonna get?
1:21It's so easy to forget
1:25We're all just passing through
1:3116 summers
1:34To live and love without regret
1:38So darling give me one more chance
1:42Can I spend
1:44Every summer I've got left with you?
1:52I see three children growing up
1:54I want the hourglass to stop
1:58Or at least slow down?
2:01If you have children of your own
2:03Darling don't forget to show them
2:06How to treasure the here and the now
2:10I know what it means
2:12The falling leaves the cooling breeze
2:14What can I do?
2:19I just close my eyes
2:20And now my life's in double time
2:23Come hold these hands you're slipping through
2:2816 summers
2:31So many things I haven't said
2:36It's so easy to forget
2:39We're all just passing through
2:4516 summers
2:48To live and love without regret
2:52So darling give me one more chance
2:56Can I spend
2:58Every summer I've got left with you?
3:06Say you'll want my love
3:10When September comes
3:14You crawled you walked but now your time's to fly
3:20Oh don't forget Julys
3:25Though the years keep rolling by
3:29I'll cherish these nights you lie in my arms
3:3916 summers
3:42If that's all I'm gonna get
3:46Then I never will forget
3:50We're all just passing through
3:5516 summers
3:58To live and love without regret
4:03So darling give me one more chance
4:06Can I spend
4:09Every summer I've got left with you?
I see a family in the sun Out in the garden having fun But where am I? You asked if I'd be gone for long I closed my eyes and bit my tongue And told a lie I know what it means If all my dreams are keeping me away from you I just close my eyes And now my life's in double time Come hold these hands you're slipping through 16 summers Is that all I'm gonna get? It's so easy to forget We're all just passing through 16 summers To live and love without regret So darling give me one more chance Can I spend Every summer I've got left with you? I see three children growing up I want the hourglass to stop Or at least slow down? If you have children of your own Darling don't forget to show them How to treasure the here and the now I know what it means The falling leaves the cooling breeze What can I do? I just close my eyes And now my life's in double time Come hold these hands you're slipping through 16 summers So many things I haven't said It's so easy to forget We're all just passing through 16 summers To live and love without regret So darling give me one more chance Can I spend Every summer I've got left with you? Say you'll want my love When September comes You crawled you walked but now your time's to fly Oh don't forget Julys Though the years keep rolling by I'll cherish these nights you lie in my arms 16 summers If that's all I'm gonna get Then I never will forget We're all just passing through 16 summers To live and love without regret So darling give me one more chance Can I spend Every summer I've got left with you?
