A FATHERS SON

A FATHERS SON

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

ITS EITHER NOTHING

OR IT ALL COMES AT ONCE

ITS KIND OF OVERWHELMING

A SINGLE TEAR

FALLS FROM YOUR EYES

I TRY TO SURROUND MYSELF

WITH LOVE

BUT EVERYBODIES SOMEWHERE ELSE

GOT SO MUCH LIVING TO DO 

BUT DON'T FORGET THE SMALL THINGS

ALL THERE IN A LINE

BETTER THAT YOU FIND THEM NOW

THAN SOME OTHER TIME

HEY THERE

WHAT'S YOUR TWENTY

I COULD USE A LITTLE COMPANY

ITS BEEN AWHILE

SINCE I TALKED TO YOU

I REMEMBER ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID

YOU HAD TO DO

ONE OF THEM WAS TO GET TOGETHER

WHEN YOU HAD A LITTLE TIME

DID I FORGET TO TELL YOU

YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT YOURSELF

OR IT JUST SLIPS AWAY 

FOREVER BEHIND YOU

YESTERDAY I WAS WALKING

I CAME UPON A STREAM

I STOPPED TO WATCH THE CLOUDS

REFLECTED IN THE POOLS

LIKE A LONELY DREAM

THAT GOES ON SLEEPING

IT NEVER WAKES

 UNTIL YOU LOOK AWAY

THROW A LITTLE 

OF YOUR TIME AROUND

JUST TO LET US KNOW

YOU HAVEN'T FORGOT YOUR ROOTS

WHILE YOU'RE OUT THERE

FILLING YOUR BOOTS

BECAUSE SOMEDAY

 MIGHT NEVER COME

TIME ONLY PLAYS BY

THE RULES IT MADE

DID I FORGET TO TELL YOU

I KNOW WHAT TIME CAN DO

WHAT IT TAKES

AND WHAT IT GIVES

TEARS OF SADNESS OR JOY

I DON'T WANT YOU TO WAKE UP

AND FIND ITS ALL GONE

YOU NEVER GAVE IT ANY TIME
