Time goes fast

Days turn to years

Decades pass

But I still hear

Her words of wisdom

In my ears

 

She said seek and you will find

You’ve got to be cruel to be kind

I’ll give you a piece of my mind

Life is sweet when love is blind

 

Clichéd they may be

But they bring her back to me

Always hold the key

To your own destiny

 

Still waters run deep

Still waters run deep

 

Instrumental

 

Time goes fast

Days turn to years

Decades pass

But I still hear

Her words of wisdom

In my ears

 

She said look before you leap

You’ve got to think before you speak

Turn the other cheek

And pray to God your soul to keep

 

Clichéd they may be

But they bring her back to me

Always hold the key

To your own destiny

 

Clichéd they may be

But they bring her back to me

Always hold the key

To your own destiny

 

Still waters run deep

Still waters run deep

Still waters run deep

They run deep

STORY BEHIND THE SONG:

When I was a little girl I remember my Great Granny Dunlop often using clever phrases - I thought she had made them up! I had no idea what proverbs/idioms/cliches were at that time. When I hear those phrases now I think of her. She was the guiding light of our family. She ensured we said our prayers every night - they went on forever! We were very fortunate to have her in our lives as she moulded us all into decent human beings.
