[Verse 1]
And there's a time, there’s a time for living
Like a mother hearing baby's first cry
There's a time, there’s a time for dying
Like a family gathered 'round by the bedside

[Chorus]
The time goes by
We blink our eyes
The love we gave, the love we lost
The time goes by

[Verse 2]
And there's a time, there's a time for grieving
Like you just can't get warm on a cold winter's night
But there's a time, there's a time for healing
It’s like the golden hues of morning’s first light

[Chorus]
And the time goes by
We blink our eyes
The love we gave, the love we lost
The time goes by

[Interlude]
[Chorus]
The time goes by
We blink our eyes, yeah
The time goes by
We blink our eyes
The love we gave, the love we lost
The time goes by
The memories will carry on
The time goes by

[Outro]
Oh, yes it does
But we will survive, yeah
