Tomorrow

I want the Moon to stay away,
I don't want the Sun to set,
I want every day to be today,
I'm not ready for tomorrow yet.

But sunlight fades, gives way to night,
The Sun gives way to the Moon,
It's so unfair, it's just not right,
That days pass by so soon.

Sand grains that in an hourglass fall,
Bring closer the end of today,
The time we're given is much too small,
Tomorrow is just a day away.

A few moments I wish I could steal,
Few seconds I'd love to borrow,
Time cannot be brought to heel,
But if only I could delay Tomorrow.

No one knows what the future'll bring,
We can only do our best and stall,
Tomorrow's a certain, inevitable thing,
But I wish it wouldn't come at all.

Time

The clock on the wall ticks steadily,
Relentlessly, over and over,
O, I can stop the clock, certainly,
But I can't make Time any slower.

If only Time was just a clock,
Submissive to the will of men,
I'd never have to mind my talk,
'cause the past wouldn't be frozen then.

Tomorrow'll take today's place,
Yesterday's a memory already,
Time will never slow its pace,
And Today will never be steady.

I don't know what tomorrow'll hold,
And I fear what I do not know,
Everything new will soon be old,
With time age will only grow.

I want tomorrow to stay away,
I wish Time wouldn't run so fast,
But today is tomorrow's yesterday.
It's already a part of the past.
