Can't Go Back

Writer(s): Eric Marshall

Well you can't go back to a memory

Those times are lost as life passes by

The world moves so fast then your life is past

For a moment you're there then it's gone

For a moment you're there then it's gone


A little boy plays ball in the backyard

And he waits for his dad to come home

But dad's working late, his work just can't wait

Son we'll make it up later on


But you can't go back to a memory

Those times are lost as life passes by

The world moves so fast then your life is past

For a moment you're there then it's gone

For a moment you're there then it's gone


An old man leans back in his rocker

And he thinks of the days gone by

Things he'd change if he could

Oh Lord knows he would

Go back to the memories in his mind


But you can't go back to a memory

Those times are lost as life passes by

The world moves so fast then your life is past

For a moment you're there then it's gone

For a moment you're there then it's gone


Well you can't go back to a memory

Those times are lost as life passes by

The world moves so fast then your life is past

For a moment you're there then it's gone

For a moment you're there then it's gone

For a moment you're there then it's gone
