[Verse]

The crescent moon is hanging

just above the water

in the distance,

I am watching the reflection

Sitting at the bar with a

Bullet Rye on ice,

trying not to draw too much attention

[Pre-Chorus]

A familiar feeling washing over me

A sweet and beautiful kind of melancholy

[Verse]

The evening sky is trying

Gently to remind me

That it's time to maybe

Sit a count my blessings

Looking at the stars while I

Begin to recognize

That I've had too many goods times to mention

[Pre-Chorus]

But there's a future I know I'll never see

It's a sweet and beautiful kind of melancholy

[Chorus]

Time

Goes by

I know I have to laugh to keep from cryin'

I don't

Ask why

'Cause There's nothin' I can do

[Verse]

The past is slowly drifting

Through my memory

And sometimes I confuse it with the present

It shouldn't be that hard but I

Don't understand it anyway

I haven't even figured out the questions

It's all that living was supposed to be

It's a sweet and beautiful kind of melancholy

[Chorus]

Time

Goes by

I know I have to laugh to keep from cryin'

I don't

Ask why

There's nothin' I can do but keep on tryin'

Time

Goes by

Sometimes it seems to go so slow sometimes it' flyin

I don't

Ask why

'cause there's nothin' I can do
