Time Flies (Original)

Hi everyone - I hadn’t really been engaged with the community for a while, but last month I sort of randomly stumbled across the section with Community Recordings, and have really enjoyed watching/listening to the postings.

Have heard many originals I thought were top notch, and very some very interesting cover versions.

Seeing all this, I was inspired to finally put the finishing touches on something I’ve been working on for a while so I could share it here.

So here goes… my original tune called “Time Flies”… I hope people enjoy it, and all feedback is very welcome.

When I was young
Summer seemed like it lasted a year
Lazy days, with nothing but
Time on our hands

Now that I’m old
A month flies by in a day
The only thing I wish I had
is time

Life laid ahead of us
We didn’t have a clue
That time flies away
Much faster than you think

Time flies away
More years behind me
Than I got ahead of me
Where’d they go

It aint no lie
When they say that youth
Is wasted on the young

If I only knew then
What I know now

Life laid ahead of us
We didn’t have a clue
That time flies away
Much faster than you think

Time flies away
I keep looking forward
But I, can’t forget the past

Time flies away
More years behind me
Than I got ahead of me

It aint no lie

Time Flies
Away from us

Nice original song David. I really enjoyed the lyrics and you have a good voice suited to the song. The guitar parts I won’t dare to comment on as I am strictly an acoustic guitar guy who keeps things simple, so to try and decipher what’s going on with guitars and effects would be doing you a disservice. Great job!

Thanks, Eddie. Greatly appreciated!
