Lyrics

1. Miss Suzy Small Town used to
dance like a dream
Made the move to Big City,
bright lights
But "Flashdance" was only
a movie she'd seen
And pounding pavement made 
the money tight

So after the sun set 
on Sunset Boulevard
She'd slide down poles
and bare 'most all for rent
At thirty-five she felt she'd 
played her last card
She'd give anything 
to be sixteen and innocent

(CHORUS):
The hands of time
won't slow down
Life takes you to the next round
Face each day,
embrace the learning,
roll with the wheels
that keep on turning
The lesson is love,
the lesson is life
Welcome growing
There ain't no slowing
the hands of time

2. Mr. Used-To-Be Good-Looking Corporate Ace
faced fifty
Ain't life full of surprises
Found himself reminiscing
his college days
Family life was too filled with 
compromises
So he dyed the gray 
right out of his hair
Pursued a come-on 
from the coffee-place chick
Walked right out on his 
wife of thirty years
Then called her up 
whenever he felt homesick

(CHORUS REPEAT):
The hands of time
won't slow down
Life takes you to the next round
Face each day,
embrace the learning,
roll with the wheels
that keep on turning
The lesson is love,
the lesson is life
Welcome growing
There ain't no slowing
the hands of time

(INSTR. SOLO)

3. Grandmother Joan's heart
decided to give in
when she'd made it to
seventy-nine
Her only son's theory
was wearin' thin
that for another ten years
she'd be fine
Family gathered 
around the bed, cryin'
Not ready to see her
pass away
Grandmother whispered:
"No big deal, I'm just dying
But first, there's something
I need to say".

(CHORUS REPEAT):
The hands of time
won't slow down
Life takes you to the next round
Face each day,
embrace the learning,
roll with the wheels
that keep on turning
The lesson is love,
the lesson is life
Welcome growing
There ain't no slowing
the hands of time

(TAG):
Welcome growing
There ain't no slowing
the hands of time
