Lyrics

Well I found me a wallet when I was cleaning my garage
It was made of old black leather it was lookin’ kind of sad
Well it didn't have no money but I'll tell you what I found
There was a little book of memories with the edges torn and browned

There was all kinds of pictures of a guy who looked like me
There was one there he was leaning on a Chevy 63
There was one looked like a girlfriend she was sittin’ on his knee
Ain’t it funny how that girlfriend would come to marry me

Chorus
Have you ever stopped to wonder why
How do years in life keep rollin’ by
We keep dreamin’ about tomorrow
and not thinking ‘bout today and time just slips away

There was one of my granddad with my daddy on his knee
There was one of ol’ aunt Edna she was always teasing me
Then I found one of my father it was the year before he died
I remember how it hit me I cried and cried and cried

There was one of my old bandmates it was the year we went on tour
It was funny all the haircuts and the clothing that we wore
Then I found that precious picture of my kids when they were small
Now Jenny’s graduated and Johnny's six feet tall

Chorus

Bridge:
And as I sat there with my storied past
you know I came to see - life don't last 
Instrumental turnaround

Have you ever stopped to wonder why
How the years in life keep rollin’ by
We keep dreamin' about tomorrow
And not thinking bout today and time just slips away
Yea time just slips away
