Time Waits for No One lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yes, star-crossed in pleasure

The stream flows on by

Yes, as we're sated in leisure

We watch it fly, yes

[Chorus]

And time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

And time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

[Verse 2]

Time can tear down a building

Or destroy a woman's face

Hours are like diamonds

Don't let them waste

[Chorus]

Time waits for no one

No favors has he

Time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

[Verse 3]

Men, they build towers to their passing

Yes, to their fame everlasting

Here he comes chopping and reaping

Hear him laugh at their cheating

[Chorus]

And time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

Yes, time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

[Verse 4]

Drink in your summer

Gather your corn

The dreams of the night time will vanish by dawn

[Chorus]

And time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

Yes, time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

No, no, no, not for me, no, not for me
