The Sweet Passing Of Time

I used to be the “drinking kind”
But drinking never was a friend of mine
The words she whispered never did ring true

She’d leave me by the side of the road
In the middle of the night in the freezing cold 
Again in the morning, we’d start anew

If that was now and this was then
I would do it all over again
Here’s to the sweet passing of time 

I’ve always loved the sound
Of my guitar in another town
Late-night coffee has it’s late-night charms

A little something in a coffee cup
A little something just to pick you up
A little something in a stranger’s arms

If that was now and this was then
I’d do it all over again
Here’s to the sweet passing of time

As the years go drifting by
In the cliched blink of an eye
Where would you be if not for that one turn?

If I could talk to the younger me
So many things I’d ask him to see 
Like how wins or losses are lessons learned

If that was now and this was then
I would do it all over again
So here’s to the sweet passing of time

If that was now and this was then
I would do it all over again
So here’s to the sweet passing of time
