Question 1 of 10
1. Okay, it's time to kick off the show with this number about -- what else -- time.

"And if there's an end to all my sorrow
And this is the only price I'll pay
I'll be a happy man when I go
And I can't wait another day"
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Here's one that sums up a lot of our lives. Are you, like the composer, running out of time?

"Well all these little things in life they all create this haze
And now I'm running out of time I can't see through this haze"
Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Man, I've heard this one so many times.

"And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock"

Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. I've listened to this song so many times it inspired me to write this quiz. Where do the days go?

"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death"
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Here's another great tune that gives us pause to think about what we're doing with our lives. Think about it.

"If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had 'til we grow old"
Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Every time I hear this song I think of Charlie.

"Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah"
Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. I can't count all the times I danced to this song with Suzie.

"Well baby, there you stand
With your little head, down in your hand
Oh, my God, you can't believe
It's happening again
Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
And it looks like the end"
Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Well, time is winding down on the show. Do you remember this ballad?

"I'll get along
You'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me"
Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Take your time and think about it before you answer.

"The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creations colors seem to fade to grey
And you'll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end a memory"
Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Time to say goodbye, for now.

"Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you"
Hint
