I Just Don't Have The Time - Billy Eckstine

I just don’t have the time for chasing rainbows

Yesterday is somewhere fast asleep

Love was in my hand, time at my command

But castles in the sand were meant to keep

I just don’t have the time to find those daydreams

Hiding in the heart that once was me

Wonderful and wise, barefoot and beguiled

Where’s that happy child I used to be?

When I ran through the field searching for a hill to climb

And my heart was as pure as the rain

When my dreams wouldn’t give to the tyranny of time

How I’d like to go back there again

Once again

But I just don’t have the time for chasing rainbows

Youth and truth no longer seem to rhyme

The man inside of me needs the boy I used to be

But I just don’t have the time

No, I just don’t have the time
