Father Time
The country rock ballad opens with intertwining expressive piano and electric violin, emanating warmth. Raspy male vocals enter, supported by subtle drums and acoustic guitar. At the core, a soulful electric violin-piano solo leads, fading into a delicate, reflective instrumental outro.

Lyrics
When I look in the mirror
I don't like what I see
Just a shell of a man
That looks alien to me.
Yeah, I'm getting older
Life has taken it's toll
Am I now so fragile
I'd break like a China doll.
I knew I'd dread this day
Looks like it's here to stay.
Taking nothing for granted
We all succumb to father time
That's a fact of life
Somewhere down the line
It's a process in the making
Though we try to fight the tide
On the outside I'm aging
Still feeling young on the inside.
When I look in the mirror
Getting a little more grey
A few crows' feet on my eyes
They weren't there yesterday.
Yeah, I'm getting older
Wanna stay forever young
I know it won't happen
The aging process has begun.
What happens when I get weak
And my bones all start to creak.
Taking nothing for granted
We all succumb to father time
That's a fact of life
Somewhere down the line
It's a process in the making
Though we try to fight the tide
On the outside I'm aging
Still feeling young on the inside.
Father time
Why do you have to call
Now you're here
Is the writing on the wall.
Taking nothing for granted
We all succumb to father time
That's a fact of life
Somewhere down the line
It's a process in the making
Though we try to fight the tide
On the outside I'm aging
Still feeling young on the inside.
I don't like what I see
Just a shell of a man
That looks alien to me.
Yeah, I'm getting older
Life has taken it's toll
Am I now so fragile
I'd break like a China doll.
I knew I'd dread this day
Looks like it's here to stay.
Taking nothing for granted
We all succumb to father time
That's a fact of life
Somewhere down the line
It's a process in the making
Though we try to fight the tide
On the outside I'm aging
Still feeling young on the inside.
When I look in the mirror
Getting a little more grey
A few crows' feet on my eyes
They weren't there yesterday.
Yeah, I'm getting older
Wanna stay forever young
I know it won't happen
The aging process has begun.
What happens when I get weak
And my bones all start to creak.
Taking nothing for granted
We all succumb to father time
That's a fact of life
Somewhere down the line
It's a process in the making
Though we try to fight the tide
On the outside I'm aging
Still feeling young on the inside.
Father time
Why do you have to call
Now you're here
Is the writing on the wall.
Taking nothing for granted
We all succumb to father time
That's a fact of life
Somewhere down the line
It's a process in the making
Though we try to fight the tide
On the outside I'm aging
Still feeling young on the inside.
