Time Flies
© Copyright 2006 Paul Brady
v1
Say that you love me
Say that you care
Say that you want me
And I'll always be there
v2
Why do we waste our time
These moments go so fast
Expectations realized
They never seem to last
v3
Lets not waste our time
Or think of yesterday
The new day comes far too soon
Lets make a choice today
chorus
Time flies while your not looking
Time flies to who knows where
Lets not one day wake and find that
Time's flown by without us there
v4
Sometimes the paths not easy
Those lovers never stay
And each time this time you're the one
So just be mine today
v5
And just say that you love me
Just say that you care
Just say that you want me
And I'll always be there
chorus
Time flies while your not looking
Time flies to who knows where
Lets not one day wake and find that
Love's flown by without us there
.
Your song has a nice flow to sing with.
"Time flies while your not looking
Time flies to who knows where
Lets not one day wake and find that
Time's flown by without us there"
Ain't it the truth. :D
"Time flies" is a hard cliche to avoid, but works well with your song. Just something that came to mind.

Everything is 42..... again.
Hey mate
You know the only time I have ever witnessed time flying by was the morning I threw my alarm clock out the window :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Ahh seriously verses 1 , 2 and 3 tie in so well then I think it loses something ( sorry ) the same feeling ( mood ) disappears until the second last verse and it's there it appears again . Mind you this could be the way I'm reading it ...
I really do love the ending that last line is gold I think .....
Hope this does not sound too harsh
Just my opinion
HiLcH :?:
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Pbee,
I think this is one of those assignments where cliche
is hard to avoid. You seem to have used it to your
advantage and it works well.
Good Job
John
Thanks for the feedback guys,
Ghost and John yeah "Time Flies" is a cliche so I wanted to make the song primarily about something else and just allude to the time element.
the same feeling ( mood ) disappears
Hilch me old mate, are you referring to the chorus or v4 ?
cheers
Paul
the only qualm i have, and its personal one is that you rhyme yesterday with today in verse three. I think it just bothers me bacause of the fact that they are both ending in day.
Another real quick one is that you brought the word today back in verse four.
i also agree with everyone else
other than the things mentioned fantastic song and the last line is gold.

most definetly verse 4 I think the chorus is really well written ...
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Ive recorded an mp3 here:

Hi Pbee
How wrong was I after listening to the MP3
That is really nice
I honestly mean it very nice
Well done mate
Hilch :?:
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Thanks for feedback Spencer. Hilch, I actually agree with you about verse 4, it does has a slightly different flavour, it is a kind of turning point in the song. I think your instincts were correct so thanks for mentioning it, oh and thanks for the compliment.
Cheers
Paul
Hey Paul I really like the song. MP3 sounded great, love your guitar part.
Nothing really to add. I think your song has a great flow and makes me feel in love but a little on the edge worried. Ya know, kinda like love.
Good job

I like it Pbee, and I noticed you sang this part:
Time flies while your not looking
Time flies to who knows where
Lets not one day wake and find that
Love's flown by without us there
Like this:
Time flies when you're not looking
Time flies to who knows where
Let's not one day wake and find that
Love's flown without us there (left out by)
And it worked great. I'm glad I'm finally able to listen to your recordings. Good song.
Joe
