Lyrics

Mama's looking at her baby fast asleep Pulls him close, feels him breathe She knows that he's gonna go away some day Breaks her heart life's that way She's tryin' to hold back time Tryin' to hold back time Tryin' to hold back time Tryin' to hold back time Tries to hide the lines on her face Just a girl yesterday She's smart enough to know the years are gonna pass She don't mind, but not so fast She's tryin' to hold back time Tryin' to hold back time Tryin' to hold back time Tryin' to hold back time It's like tryin' to hold water in your hand Slippin' through your fingers drippin' on the sand It's just a waste of time You're gonna find it's kinda like Tryin' to hold back time Tryin' to hold back time Tryin' to hold back time Tryin' to hold back time
