Time, time, time See what's become of me Time, time, time See what's become of me While I looked around for my possibilities I was so hard to please Look around Leaves are brown And the sky is a hazy shade of winter Hear the Salvation Army band Down by the riverside It's bound to be a better ride than what you've got planned Carry a cup in your hand Look around Leaves are brown And the sky is a hazy shade of winter Hang onto your hopes, my friend That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away Simply pretend That you can build them again Look around Grass is high Fields are ripe It's the springtime of my life Seasons change with the scenery Weaving time in a tapestry Won't you stop and remember me? Look around Leaves are brown And the sky is a hazy shade of winter Look around Leaves are brown There's a patch of snow on the ground Look around Leaves are brown There's a patch of snow on the ground Look around Leaves are brown There's a patch of snow on the ground
