Lyrics

Can’t Hold onto Time

With racing hearts my son and I approached the schoolyard gate I saw the flag waving in the wind the same way that my hand would wave goodbye an open hand a long last look and suddenly I realized this would not be the last time I would bid my boy goodbye
Tension in the air and sweaty palms when I approached the door to see the young man who one day would take my little girl away from me they had my blessing the day that she took his hand for mine as the rice began to fall so the tears fell from my eyes
Chorus
My hands held tightly to theirs walkin’ ‘cross the street running in the sand and playing at the beach those memories of mine those precious years gone by no matter how I tried my hands could not hold onto time

Witnessing our youngest in the doorway how I wanted him to stay I was no match for life’s adventure that pulled hard the other way awkward glances as we tried to find the words to say goodbye we bowed or heads and said a prayer and help each other tight
Chorus
These precious moments innocent smiles they’re only given for a while
Chorus
