Lyrics Time Taketh Away - Cheryl Wheeler

Time takes us from cradle to grave
From helpless to helpless again
And there ain′t no turning back
On this one way track
Cause one day we're bound to give in

And it just keeps rollin′ by
Like the sun in the sky
Like the darkness
That follows the day
And it may be the Lord who giveth
But it's time that taketh away

You watch us grow up
We watch you grow old
It's the order we′ve known from the start
But it don′t help to know
When time's runnin′ low
Cause I swear it still tears us apart

And how can I start
To take this in stride
Who let your strength start to fray
And how can I stop the tears in my eyes
You're fading away, fading away
