Allen Dukes - Slip On By Lyrics

Early morning by the riverside
Saw a old man waiting for a bite
We started talking and he took me back in time

He said I was young, and thought I'd always be
Then I woke up, now I'm 83
There's so much I missed, oh how I wish
I could get back all that time I wasted

I see the tears of a young bride
The morning that we had our first fight
I should've held her tight
And on the day that my momma died
I hung up the phone and never said goodbye

Don't let it slip on
Don't let it slip on
Don't let it slip on by

Well, he looked up, tears in his eyes
Said I'm not sure if you were looking for advice
There's just something about you that reminds me of me

It ain't easy always looking back
But it seem these days that it's all I have
What hurts me the most is knowing what could have been
And if I listen real close sometimes I can
Hear the sound of my little boy saying
Daddy can you please come play with me?
But I was too busy
Then one day, my baby grew up and went to war
I never thought he'd be gone in the blink of an eye

So don't let it slip on
Don't let it slip on
Don't let it slip on by

I shook the old man's hand and thanks him
And I drove home as fast as I could go
Just to let her know
That I need her
That I love her
That I'm never gonna let another moment like this slip on by

We're only here for a little while
And God give us only so much precious time

So don't let it slip on
Don't let it slip on
Don't let it slip on by
