As time goes by, I'll hold your hand,

and try to help you understand;

the mysteries of life and love,

and God's precious blessings from Heaven above.

As time goes by, you'll always know

to share your love and help it to grow

and hopefully, one day, your soul

will delight in the one you've chosen to have and to hold.

As time goes by, and you are grown,

you'll have the wisdom and strength you were shown;

the birds and the bees and all of the rest...

When enough time goes by, you will then leave your nest.

As time goes by and your trials are long,

I'll be there to hold you and help you be strong.

I will never let go, and I'll always be there,

time may go by, but I'll always care.

As time goes by and our lives grow apart,

you're grown up, and another woman steals your heart,

I'll always be willing to stand by your side,

with a smile, a hug and a heart full of pride.

As time goes by, mine will come to and end;

but I'll always be with you, my son, my friend.
