When they are a baby, can't wait for them to grow up
From diapers and a bottle, to drinking from a cup
First they say some words, and then they start to talk
Take the first few steps, and then they start to walk
They were just a baby, it seems just like last year
Where has time gone to, rolling down a tear
Pictures tell their story, each one a different age
You can't get time back, their memories on every page
Every time you turn around, they're into something new
And suddenly you realize, how fast they really grew
There was kindergarten, helped overcome their fear
Where has time gone to, rolling down a tear
Still get into trouble, they may get out on a limb
Every time you see them, you see yourself in them
Can't help but love them, to you they are the best
Made you proud, when they got an A on any given test
You wanted to slow down, they shift it up a gear
Where has time gone to, rolling down a tear
The time in the school play, when they were the star
Taught them to ride a bike, now they drive a car
Each day they grow older, now you become older too
You want your babies back, but there's nothing you can do
Used to want to play, now they're planning a career
Where has time gone to, it's rolling down a tear
