Ever Changing Times

Aretha Franklin · Jewels In The Crown-All Star Duets With The Queen [2007]

These are ever changing times...



I see the clock upon the wall

But it don't bother me at all

These are ever changing times



And these ever changing times,

Everything is going so much faster

It seems like I'm

Watching my life, and everything I do

Wondering if the dreams that I believed in

Can still come true



Caught in between, it comes back to

You and me running out of time,

got to find me a better understanding

Everyday keeps forgetting whats mine,

got to find me a way, less-demanding

And we're holding on so tight, together, all of our lives



And I, I had some big idea

So much of my life, still not completed

Hopes and Fears

Watching them change, into something new

Wondering it Im gonna find the answer, loving you



All of my life, it comes back to

You and me running out of time,

I gotta find me a better understanding

Everyday keep forgetting whats mine,

I gotta find me a way, less-demanding

And we're holding on so tight, together, all of our lives



I see the clock upon the wall, but it dont bother me at all

These are ever changing times

[2x]



All of my life, it comes back to

You and me running out of time,

I gotta find me a better understanding

Everyday keep forgetting whats mine,

I gotta find me a way, less-demanding

And we're holding on so tight, together

And we're gonna be alright, together, all of our lives



I see the clock upon the wall, but it dont bother me at all

These are ever changing times...
