Red's Motel

Lyrics

Time is moving forward
No way to turn the clock back
Its better to leave them behind
to stay on track
I hear them calling out, shouting out my name

Finding ways to cope
And to replace what is gone
Those fond memories are
Too much to dwell on
Once a fleeting occurrence
Resonates harder in it’s absence
Hold them close
While they’re still in arms reach
Let them go and
Value the lessons they teach

Why, oh why
Time flies by in the blink of an eye
Didn’t know it would be this hard
Wish I knew that from the start
I’m here to preach, to testify
That life goes by in the blink of an eye
So hold them close
While they’re still in arms reach

They’re calling out my name
Wondering where I have been
Though it’s hard to part ways
Our time has come to an end
No matter how much it hurts
What purpose does holding on serve?
Let them go
Value the lessons they teach
Once they pass
Someone will fill their seat
So hold them close
While they’re still in arms reach

Why, oh why
Time flies by in the blink of an eye
Didn’t know it would be this hard
Wish I knew that from the start
I’m here to preach, to testify
That life goes by in the blink of an eye
So hold them close
While they’re still in arms reach

Hold them close
While they’re still in arms reach
Keep them close to your heart, oh
Hold them close
While they’re still in arms reach
Oh, you know it’s for the best
Hold them close
While they’re still in arms reach
Oh
Hold them close
While they’re still in arms reach
