Well the clock ticks, like a faucet drips
Steady and so slow
Turning the present into the past
Ravishing beauty, not the soul
Time slips to another plane that
We can't see
Like energy, it's neither gained or lost
And nothing comes for free
Try to kill time
When the feelings right
Make the best of what you've got
You can run and hide
You can dry your eyes
But you can't beat father time
You can't beat father time
No, no, no
You can't beat father time
No, no, no
Time drips, in measured steps, but
That ain't nothing new
If you're looking for a way to beat the clock, then
I'll tell you what you can do
You can slip away to another astroplane
Dance on a moonbeam there
You can run and hide
You can dry your eyes
But you can't beat father time
You can't beat father time
No, no, no….
Let's fly!
Well, my bones are aching, and the lines are cracking
Being ravished by father time
Give me one more century
I'll prove that I can be divine
Time drips in measured steps, but
That ain't nothing new
You can dance on a moonbeam particle
And, I'll tell you what you can do
You can slip away to another astroplane
You can do it, if you've got the time
You can run and hide
You can dry your eyes
But you can't beat father time
You can't beat father time
No, no, no
You can't beat father time
No, no, no
Father time, (You can't beat father time), you can't beat time
Father time, (You can't beat father time), you can't beat time
So make the best of what you've got…
