Time Is Ticking

(альбом: Miss Little Havana - 2011)

Memories, a summer breeze
I'm on the bus almost getting home
Out on the street, Miami heat
I miss the smell of my dad's cologne

And it seems to me like a melody
My favorite song on the radio
When you know
Turn it back before it goes

My front door, the corner store
Climbing the tree in my old backyard
My mother's smile from ear to ear
When I got all As on my report card
I can see them all when I close my eyes
It doesn't seem that long ago
When you know
You turn it back before it goes

Time is ticking away, yeah
But it was just yesterday, yeah
Though it'll never be gone, yeah
We gotta live for today

Ice cream from the Dairy Queen
On the corner by the Orange Bowl
My grandma's voice always telling me
I'd understand when I was old

You can make mistakes, it'll be OK
But when you learn it's a pot o' gold
When you know
To turn it back before it goes

Time is ticking away, yeah
Time is ticking away
But it was just yesterday, yeah
But it was just yesterday
Though it'll never be gone, yeah
Never be gone, never, never be gone
We gotta live for today
Got to live for today

Everything you live and you do
Becomes a part of you, so
You'll get back what you spread around

Everything you think and you say
Is gonna show up some way
So why not always take the higher ground

Time is ticking away, yeah
El tiempo pasa y no vuelve jamás
Solo lo bueno quiero recordar
But it was just yesterday, yeah
Solo este día es el hay que vivir
Hacia adelante yo voy a seguir
Though it will never be gone, yeah
Solo te enseña la vida es verdad
Y lo que buscas lo vas a encontrar
We've got to live for today
Hay que vivir para hoy

Time is ticking away, yeah
El tiempo pasa
But it was just yesterday, yeah
Y no vuelve jamás
Though it will never be gone, yeah
Solo lo bueno, solo lo bueno quiero recordar
We've got to live for today
Hay que vivir para hoy

Time is ticking away
Y no vuelve jamás

Time is ticking away
But it was just yesterday, yeah
