I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE TIME HAS GONE 

©1997 music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle

I don't know where the time has gone

I don't know where it has gone
So many memories are still alive in me

So much more travelin' to get where I must be
And the journey's long

And the time is short

But my friends I promise you I'll be there
 

I don't know where the time has gone

I don't know where it has gone
So many friends that I need to see

So many roads to travel to get where I must be
And the journey's hard

And the time's about gone
But my friends I promise you I'll be there

 

I remember that 707 gettin' ready to roll
Down that lonesome runway headin' for hell's hole
I remember late at night how the monsoon winds would blow
Takin' me down deep in sleep 'til my body left my soul

 

I don't know where the time has gone

I don't know where it has gone
So many hopes and dreams are still a part of me

So many feelings waiting to be free
And the journey's blessed

As we struggle along
But my friends I promise you I'll be there

 

Time is an anchor for every man

Time is a vapor we don't understand
Time is a measure to make you free

Time is the journey where you need to be
I don't know where the time has gone

I don't know where it has gone
