Time Is Ticking Songtext / Lyric

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

But it was just yesterday, yeah

Though it'll never be gone, yeah

We gotta 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)



But it was just yesterday
