I woke up this morning and looked at my life

Filled with so much sorrow and grief

And in my troubled mind

I could see through all my strife

That time is only a thief



Yes time is a thief

That will steal your tomorrows

And leave you only yesterday

Yes time is a thief

That will rob you of your years

Your youth the only ransom you can pay



So treasure each little moment

Don't let a single minute slip away

Because time is a thief

That will rob you of your years

And never return one yesterday



Oh time is a thief

That will rob you of your years

And never return one yesterday
