I woke up this morning and looked at my life

Filled with so much sorrow and grief

And in my troubled mind

I could see through all my strife

That time is only a thief

Yes, time is a thief that will steal your tomorrows

And leave you only yesterday

Yes, time is a thief that will rob you of your years

Your youth the only ransom you can pay

So treasure each little moment

Don't let a single minute slip away

Because time is a thief that will rob you of your years

And never return one yesterday

Oh, time is a thief that will rob you of your years

And never return one yesterday
