So Many Would Like

So many would like for to go back in time
For to live again in their physical prime
But the past for us is only a memory
And we cannot physically return to the what used to be
People grow older and time ticks away
And every dawning brings us nearer to our lives final day
The old have their wisdom the young have their youth
And mortality for us remains as a truth
At the stroke of midnight today will be gone
And the now is all that does matter and time does tick on
Of the what used to be only memories remain
Physically we cannot return to the past again
Time it does not wait it just ticks on and on
We live in the now and yesterday has gone.
