My how time flies when you're having fun
   But my how it goes so slowly when you're old.

I used to watch my kids play in the yard
   Now I see my grandchildren at their graduation.

So long ago my sister taught me how to read
   And now mydaughter teaches me how to care for myself.

When I used to dream of all the things I wanted to do
   Where has all that time passed?

The tree in the front yard my daddy planted on Arbor Day
   Has now given half the yard a blanket of shade.

Running on the track team was my favorite sport
   I can hardly get to the front door in the morning.

But I guess being young and innocent cannot compare
   To the joys of being old and wise.

My how time flies when you're having fun
   But my how it goes so slowly when you're old.
