TIME, mind, not yours, mine

TIME slips us by
You wonder where have all the precious seconds gone
Have I spent time wrongly
chasing shiny dime instead of minding the hours?
And mining the minutes and seconds?
Have I shared the wrong company
Mouthing inanities instead of composing a litany?

I sometimes do not know myself
'Cos I allow time to slip me by
By the hour, by the minute, by the second
It's repeated year in year out
I think I can't afford it anymore
The more I slip I stumble I fall
But when time slips me by
I almost lose it all

Phil Collins', which only recently cret intomy mindscape; it did leave an impact.
Next, ah, read on...I ain't gonna indulge my esteemed readers -- some of them have been too pampered, and ratty for the last 360-odd days -- not in the spirit of the raging bull kambing soon! Happy Niu Year to awe!:):):):):):):)

I'm gonna take a seven-day break -- is it alright wit' with Thee? No? You think I careth? You say it's not a'right, remember I am a leftist2!:(

All of My Life

All of my life, I’ve been searchingFor the words to say how I feel.I’d spend my time thinking too muchAnd leave too little to say what I meanI’ve tried to understand the best I canAll of my life.All of my life, I’ve been saying sorryFor the things I know I should have doneAll the things I could have said come back to meSometimes I wish that it had just begunSeems I’m always that little too lateAll of my lifeSet ’em up, I’ll take a drink with youPull up a chair, I think I’ll staySet ’em up, cos I’m going nowhereThere’s too much I need to remember, too much I need to sayAll of my life, I’ve been lookingBut it’s hard to find the wayReaching past the goal in front of meWhile what’s important just slips awayIt doesn’t come back but I’ll be lookingAll of my lifeSet ’em up...All of my life, there have been regretsThat I didn’t do all I couldMaking records upstairs, while he watched tvI didn’t spend the time I shouldIt’s a memory I will live withAll of my life.

Lyrics
It Might Be You
Stephen Bishop

Time... I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life...
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me...
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you...
All of my life...

Looking back as lovers go walking past...
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognize the face?
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time...
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life...

I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before...
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life...
It's you..It's you...
I've been waiting for all of my life...
Maybe it's you...Maybe it's you...
I've been waiting for all of my life...
Maybe it's you...Maybe it's you...
I've been waiting for all of my life...
