In the sweet embrace of twilight
Just before the night time came
All her children in the front yard
There was laughter all the breeze
Then a call came from her father
In his house half away ‘cross town
He said ‘love, I hate to tell you
But your mother, she’s gone now’
And time moving quickly before our eyes
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
So she tries to tell her husband
But she cannot make a sound
And he hears through all the silence
So before she hits the ground
He says ‘baby, are you with me?’
And he opens up her eyes
And she says ‘I lost my mother’
And a piece of her heart dies
And time moving quickly before our eyes
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
And time moving quickly before our eyes
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
I am trapped and wondering why
Now it’s late and she is restless
All her girls are tucked in bed
She is searching for a meaning
When all words feel meaningless
And the hardest part of losing
Is the memory of the when
And the hardest part of letting go
Is when you know you never cared
Yea, the hardest part of letting go
Is when you know you never cared
And time moving quickly before our eyes
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
And time moving quickly before our eyes
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
I am trapped and wondering why
Moving quickly before our eyes
