New Until It'S Old

Well, the winter brings the snow
It's spring before you know
Summer comes and goes
Like a dream that you can't hold
As you gaze upon the skies
See the clouds passing by
They know as well as you and I
That everything's new until it's old

Perhaps I'd be happy if time stood still
But I won't for it never will
Sure as the evening geese take flight
Silver coins in a wishing well
The final chimes of a mission bell
And it's ringing into the night

Well, the morning brings the sun
But the rain will surely come
And the afternoon will run
Into setting suns of pink and blue
As you gaze upon the moon
Be it crescent, full or new
It knows as well as me and you
That everything's new until it's old

Perhaps I'd be happy if time stood still
But I won't for it never will
Sure as the evening geese take flight
Silver coins in a wishing well
The final chimes of a mission bell
And it's ringing into the night

Well, I'd be happy if time stood still
But I won't for it never will
Sure as the evening geese take flight
Silver coins in a wishing well
The final chimes of a mission bell
And it is ringing into the night
