You can't hold back the dawn
or stop the tides from flowing
Or keep a rose from withering
or still a wind that's blowing --
And time cannot be halted
in its swift and endless flight,
For age is sure to follow youth
like day comes after night. ...

or stop the tides from flowing
Or keep a rose from withering
or still a wind that's blowing --
And time cannot be halted
in its swift and endless flight,
For age is sure to follow youth
like day comes after night. ...
