Lyrics

Tempus fugit Lyrics © 2026 Nadia Cripps

Tempus fugit for sure Only yesterday or so it seems The air was pure And I believed in my childhood dreams

Tempus fugit, tempus fugit   I must have been unfit Can the time slow down for you and me? We could send the world our plea

We need the possibility to turn things around Change for the better in too many ways Wipe out every wound Be mindful always

Tempus fugit and doesn't go back I know, it's to obvious to say Before too late, let's put things on track Not tomorrow but today!

So true! Just this morning I realized it's Wednesday - garbage day - and I feel like I just took out the garbage a day or two ago. Thank you for the inspiration to get on track today :-)

This lyric really strikes a chord with me (!) as I've been feeling like this a lot lately. There are lessons here we could all do with heeding. Excellent work 👌

Good message for all of us. I particularly like Tempus fugit and doesn’t go back. This topic has been on my mind. Someone mentioned Marcel Proust, and his epic novel The Search for Lost Time.

Tempus fugit indeed.

Really gives the sense that change comes at you fast. Good colorful imagery and a few of life’s lessons.
