Hi everyone, I found this wonderful sight by chance - doing a search for "songs that don't mention the title in their lyrics"
eg "Bohemian Rhapsody"

Anyway, another interesting song lyric is one that mentions the passing of time in some fashion.

I'll post some of my suggestions - please start thinking !

First one that came to mind is Al Stewart's "Time Passages". Also: "Time" by Pink Floyd, Sinatra's "It Was A Very Good Year" and "Time and Tide" by Basia. How about an instrumental that evokes the passing of time- "Days into Years" by Dwight Ashley does that quite nicely.
