Robin Levinson - Song for M (Axine) Lyrics

We grew up in towns that weren't far apart
Where milkman delivered on horses & cart
Those lazy old days when life seemed so slow
And Doris Day sang on our radio

But something was missing no spring to my stride
No one was standing, there by my side

But the world keeps on spinning and time marches on & a lifetime seems over before its begun
So live for each day & tell her you love her, your wife, your daughter, your sister, your mother

How in the Hell did we make it this far
40 long years 'neath a wandering star
I loved you back then - but now more by far
For 40 long years for 40 long years
For 40 long years my heart's borne the scar

TIME, TIME, TIME

Along came the sixties the Beatles the Stones
We danced to their tunes like mechanical clones (yeah, yeah yeah)
Gun fire in Dallas, a President lost
Where were you standing then?
What was the cost?

Went to a dance and came home with a bride
Now you were standing, there by my side

But the world keeps on spinning and time marches on & a lifetime seems over before its begun
So live for each day & tell her you love her, your wife, your daughter, your sister, your mother

How in the Hell did we make it this far
40 long years 'neath a wandering star
I loved you back then - but now more by far
For 40 long years for 40 long years
For 40 long years my heart's borne the scar

Time-time-time
Time-time-time

Then came the seventies the drug hippy scene
We flew off to London to visit the Queen

Paced the streets of the Monopoly board
Were sent to the Tower
Where the crown jewels were stored

Double deck buses, Black taxis to ride
And you rode with me, right by my side

But the world keeps on spinning and time marches on & a lifetime seems over before its begun
So live for each day & tell her you love her, your wife, your daughter, your sister, your mother

How in the Hell did we make it this far
40 long years 'neath a wandering star
I loved you back then - but now more by far
For 40 long years for 40 long years
For 40 long years my heart's borne the scar

Time time time
Time time time

The nineties, two thousand, two thousand & ten
Our hair has gone grey & our bones are ache'in..
The world has gone crazy we're losing the Race
What has become
Of that old Fifties pace

But through a great lifetime I say with much pride
You have been with me, there by my side

But the world keeps on spinning and time marches on & a lifetime seems over before its begun
So live for each day & tell her you love her, your wife, your daughter, your sister, your mother
Your husband, your son, your father, your brother

How in the Hell did we make it this far
40 long years 'neath a wandering star
I loved you back then - but now more by far
For 40 long years, for 40 long years
For 40 long years... my heart's... borne the scar
