I woke up this morning and looked at my life   Filled with so much sorrow and grief   And in my troubled mind   I could see through all my strife   That time is only a thief      Yes, time is a thief that will steal your tomorrows   And leave you only yesterday   Yes, time is a thief that will rob you of your years   Your youth the only ransom you can pay      So treasure each little moment   Don't let a single minute slip away   Because time is a thief that will rob you of your years   And never return one yesterday      Oh, time is a thief that will rob you of your years   And never return one yesterday
