Holding Back the Hands of Time

I wish I could

Holding Back the Hands of Time

Time keeps moving, fast and free,

I wish I could slow it down, you see.

Each moment slips and fades away,

Like the sun at the end of the day.

The years go by, they never wait,

But still, I hope to change their fate.

If I could hold back just a while,

I’d keep the good and make it last a mile.

Though time moves on, it cannot stay,

I’ll cherish now, and find my way.

For even if the hours fly,

I’ll hold their memories, of you and I.
