Verse 1
We smile so the world feels kind
Even when clouds fill the mind
We laugh so the heart feels light
Even when dreams fade from sight

Verse 2
We hide all the tears we know
Under words soft and slow
Pain stays quiet in its place
Wearing someone else’s face

Chorus
But time keeps walking on
Soft as a half-forgotten song
No one knows when roads will bend
Or when the song will reach its end

Verse 3
People love the sunlit days
They turn from rains, they walk away
So we learn to laugh and nod
And leave our sorrows with God

Chorus
But time keeps walking on
Soft as a half-forgotten song
No one knows when roads will bend
Or when the song will reach its end

Bridge
So hold gently, love what stays
Speak in soft and quiet ways
For none of us will ever know
When it’s time to let it go

Final Chorus
And time keeps walking on
Soft as a half-forgotten song
May we leave, when life is done
Like a song that stays… when the voice is gone
