[Verse 1]
I must face the fact
That time now hurries by
One day it's October
The next day it's July
It feels late when it's early
I don't move so fast
Suddenly i see the carnival has past
[Chorus]
Now it's not the time
To let such thoughts begin
I've already lived it
The world she's living in
I have dreamed young lover's dreams
Felt those highs and lows
And that scented memory
Never really goes
[Verse 2]
How i long to feel
Those thrills again
Climb those imaginary
Hills again
But it's my time of life i'm aware
It's ok to look back
But you must instead
[Chorus]
Now it's not the time
For walks around the park
Listening to the radio
Getting home by dark
I was quite a looker
When i was in my pride
I'm old enough to know
Of that was long ago
But this is now
And now is not the time
