This song was first released on the poems, prayers and promises album. it is the only album it has been released on.

Time as Ive known it
Doesnt take much time to pass by me
Minutes into days turn into months turn into years
They hurry by me

Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around

Dreams full of promises
Hopes for the future
Ive had many

Dreams I cant remember now
Hopes that Ive forgotten
Faded memories

Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around

And I love to see the morning
As it steals across the sky
I love to remember

And I love to wonder why
And I hope that Im around
So I can be there when I die
When Im gone

I hope that you will think of me
In moments when youre happy
And youre smiling

That a thought will comfort you
On cold and cloudy days
If you are crying

Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
And around and around
