When I was just a young man   And I thought the world would wait on me   I was mistaken but now I'm changin'   Time goes by, by and by      There were good times, there were bad times   And sometimes I just can't recall   Through it all your eyes I've fall   Time goes by, time goes by      You know things happen for a reason   But that's quite alright with me   Right or wrong it doesn't matter why   'Cause stars gets crossed, sometimes dreams get lost   Time goes by, by and by      You know things happen for a reason   Well, and it's really quite alright with me, yeah   Right or wrong it doesn't matter why   'Cause stars gets crossed, sometimes dreams get lost   Time goes by, by and by      'Cause stars gets crossed, sometimes dreams get lost   Time goes by
