TIME HAS MADE A CHANGE IN ME

(by Harkins Frye)


Time has made a change since my childhood days;
Many of my friends have gone away.
Some I never more in this life will see.
Time has made a change in me.

	Time has made a change 
	  in the old home place;
	Time has made a change 
	  in each smiling face.
	And I know my friends 
	  can plainly see
	Time has made a change in me.

In my childhood days, I was well and strong;
I could climb the hillside all day long.
I am not today what I used to be.
Time has made a change in me.

	Time has made a change ...

When I reach my home in that land somewhere,
With my friends who wait to meet me over there,	... who'll meet me...
Free from pain and care I'll forever be.		... I'll ever be.
Time has made a change in me.

	Time has made a change ...
