Grandaddy seemed to talk in riddles ´round the end
It took me a lot more livin´ to understand what he meant
When he said
I was born at daylight walkin´ tall by seven
Gratuated ten a.m. got saved by eleven
I took her hand it was straight up noon
Had three kids before two
They all grew and left in the afternoon

Chorus
Time flies these eyes
Have seen the glory of the morning
Turn into a silent night
I´ve lived a million moments in the time
It takes the sun to fade
And it feels like it all happened in a day

His eyes glistened as he talked about his autumn afternoon
How they held each other in the chill of a silver moon
He got all chocked up when midnight fell
She squeezed his hand the clock struck twelve
She let go and he was all by himself

Time flies these eyes
Have seen the glory of the morning
Turn into a silent night
I´ve lived a million moments in the time
It takes the sun to fade
And it feels like it all happened in a day

Bridge
But oh what a great day it was
We lived we loved
And it all just sped up around the end

Time flies these eyes
Have seen the glory of the morning
Turn into a silent night
I´ve lived a million moments in the time
It takes the sun to fade
And it feels like it all happened in a day

Time lies
And I feel like I lived my life in a day
In a day
