evidence of time...
I wrote this song at a birthday party that my kids were attending.  I almost missed the party because I was "so busy", but then I took a few minutes out of my busy day to see what life was all about.  Life was being completely absorbed by these kids.  I finally started to slow down enough to enjoy the party, when I saw the heads of the children going up and down in unison as they watched one of their friends drop clothespins into a bucket.  This was such a simple game and such a beautiful picture of enjoying every minute given to us.  This song just flowed onto the page after seeing this.

Blow out the candles close your eyes

And make a wish for me tonight

Another moment of my life

Has just passed me by, passed me by

With every wish with each surprise

Comes the evidence of time

The lights go out and smoke will rise

On everybody's life, it happens all the time

 

So pin the tail upon your fun

And soak it up just like the sun

Now before the day is done

Come and dream with me today

Cause time is melting away

With every wish that we make

With every wish that we make

 

Time… is running away

Life… is always gonna change

And these nights will be over someday

But right now, I just want to play these strings

So why don't you stay here with me

And lets waste some time

 

Everyone loves the summer time

The waters warm and people shine

But perfect skin ends up in lines

Like every day becomes the night

Every day will end in night

Everything is seen in the brightest light

And all it's hues are found in white

and the color on the trees

Will fade and fall, and die, it happens all the time
