half step down
Chords: D, Dm7, G, Em7
C
Early morning by the riverside,
Dm7
Saw an old man waiting for a bite,
F Dm7
We started talking and he took me back in time.
C
He said I was young, and thought I'd always be,
Dm7
Then I woke up, now I'm 83
F
There's so much I missed, oh how I wish
Dm7
I could get back all that time I wasted.
Chorus:
C
I see the tears of a young bride
Dm7 F
The morning that we had our first fight.
Dm7
I should've held her tight.
C
And on the day that my momma died,
Dm7 F
I hung up the phone and never said goodbye.
Don't let it slip on,
Dm7
Don't let it slip on,
C
Don't let it slip on by.
Verse 2
C
Well, he looked up, tears in his eyes.
Dm7
Said I'm not sure if you were looking for advice.
F Dm7
There's just something about you that reminds me of me.
C
It ain't easy always looking back,
Dm7
But it seems these days that it's all I have.
F
What hurts me the most is knowing what could have been,
Dm7
And if I listen real close sometimes I can
Chorus
C
Hear the sound of my little boy
Dm7 F
Saying, daddy can you please come play with me?
Dm7
But I was too busy.
C
Then one day, my baby grew up and went to war.
Dm7 F
I never thought he'd be gone in the blink of an eye.
So don't let it slip on,
Dm7
Don't let it slip on,
C
Don't let it slip on by.
Bridge
Dm7 F
I shook the old man's hand and I thanked him.
Dm7 F
And I drove home as fast as I could go.
C
Just to let her know...
C
That I need her,
Dm7
That I love her,
F Dm7
That I'm never gonna let another moment like this slip on by.
C
Don't let it slip on by.
C
We're only here for a little while,
Dm7 F
And God gives us only so much precious time.
So don't let it slip on,
Dm7
Don't let it slip on,
C Dm7
Don't let it slip on by.
F Dm7
Don't let it slip on by.
