Written and performed by John Bahler. This is the one song that I can play and people will hunt me down to tell me it meant something to them. It's always an honor to perform it.
lyrics
Why, oh papa, why does our love run dry?
Why does youthful lust crumble into dust?
My son, you would not believe
how beautiful a woman can be,
how sweet every smile and every tear,
till you've loved her down through the years
Time Flies
Lines surround her eyes with the weight of life
My son, you would not believe
how beautiful a woman can be,
how sweet every smile and every tear,
till you've loved her down through the years
Who can tell me this: why does love exist?
Life's so much the worse with its burning curse
My son, you would not believe
how beautiful a woman can be,
how sweet every smile and every tear,
till you've loved her down through the years
