Trying To Hold Back Time Lyrics - Love Remains - Alice Peacock

Mama's looking at her baby fast asleep 

Pulls him close, feels him breathe 

She knows that he's gonna go away some day 

Breaks her heart life's that way 

She's tryin' to hold back time 

Tryin' to hold back time 

Tryin' to hold back time 

Tryin' to hold back time 

Tries to hide the lines on her face 

Just a girl yesterday 

She's smart enough to know the years are gonna pass 

She don't mind, but not so fast 

She's tryin' to hold back time 

Tryin' to hold back time 

Tryin' to hold back time 

Tryin' to hold back time 

It's like tryin' to hold water in your hand 

Slippin' through your fingers drippin' on the sand 

It's just a waste of time 

You're gonna find it's kinda like 

Tryin' to hold back time 

Tryin' to hold back time 

Tryin' to hold back time 

Tryin' to hold back time
