When did the time take over
When did we stop having fun
Down on the bank of the river in the sun
Dipping our toes in the water that's
Since long gone with the snow
Now as the days are getting shorter
It's you feeling low
So take some time for me please
As I recall how you managed with ease
When times were hard and our legs got weak
You'd always tell me to wear my heart on my sleeve
Now days come and go like the weather
The lucky ones go out with a bow
And I tell the creator I love her even now
But you greet me with care come the morning
When I'm not the one who's in need
I offer you these words of wisdom
That you gave to me
Just take some time for me please
As I recall how you managed with ease
When times were hard and our legs got weak
You'd always tell me to wear my heart on my sleeve
Just take some time for me please
As this sun does set there's a chill in the breeze
And though times still get hard know that i'll never leave
You'll always tell me to wear my heart on my sleeve
