Hot Soup! – Time Waltzes On lyrics

I can remember, an evening gone by
When I rocked you and held you and gazed in your eyes
Through the window the breeze sang a soft lullaby
Singin' "hush little baby, now don't you cry"
I danced you around and around on the floor
We danced down the hallway and then down the stairs
Then we waltzed through parlor to the kitchen, and then
You were finally quiet and sleeping again.

[Chorus]
But time waltzes on, those days are gone
And I know that I can hold on
To memories of waltzing with you

One summer evening while playing outdoors
You skipped up to me, you put my hands in yours
And we waltzed to the music of the crickets and the birds
And our feet did the singing... No need for words
We danced down the sidewalk, danced 'cross the street
And we danced with our hearts as well as our feet
And we laughed as we whirled in a circle around
Until we got dizzy, and fell to the ground

[Chorus]
But time waltzes on, those days are gone
And I know that I can hold on
To memories of waltzing with you

Now you'll waltz off to college, you'll sing your own tune
You'll dance at the parties from midnight to noon
You'll dance at your wedding, and maybe then soon
You'll be waltzing your own child, as I did with you
Now you're grown up, and going your way
I can hardly believe, was it just yesterday
That you asked me to dance, and put your hand in mine
And we synchronized steps to a nursery rhyme

[Chorus]
But time waltzes on, those days are gone
And I know that I can hold on
To memories of waltzing with you
