Can't Stop Time

A few words about the song ’Can’t Stop Time’
It is strange how things turn out. You are best friends as kids, and build huts in the
woods. Or inseparable as teenagers. Hanging at the cafe and planning how to take
over the world. Perhaps you play in the same band, and even though you know
you´re really great, no one else gets it. Then Life happens and suddenly it's been
ten, fifteen or twenty years since you last talked. And then you read obituary in
the newspaper. But you don’t go to the funeral. Because it can’t be true.

lyrics

I heard the church bells ringing
but I didn't go in
I heard the choir singing
the most beautiful hymn

We used to be friends, we even used to be close
A long time ago, it's just one of those things
you know how it goes

But I remember the fun that we had
and I remember the dreams that we shared
Oh, oh-oh, but I can't stop time

I had a dream last night
I saw him in a crowd
A smile on his face, I called his name
but the noise was too loud

I had a dream last night
Only I could see
He seemed just fine, he was doing alright
as he waved back at me

But I remember the fun that we had
and I remember the dreams that we shared
Oh, oh-oh, but I can't stop time

I heard someone say that time is like a river so wide
And all we can do is to stand and watch it roll on by

SOLO

I remember he said, we have all the time that we need
All we have to do is to figure out how to be free
So let the church bells ring
ring for all our absent friends
In heaven or in my dreams
I know I'll see him again

Time is like a river
a river's just like time
And all we can do is to stand and watch it roll on by

But I remember the fun that we had
and I remember the dreams that we shared
./. Oh, oh-oh, I wish I could stop time ./.
