A song I wrote about getting older and still being single. That ole love clock is running, tik tok, tik tok. See my song Tik Tok.

Tik Tok My Love Clock's Ticking

Tik Tok, my love clock's tickin'
now it's runnin' out a' time
I been doin' things I shouldn't
should 'a left those things behind
My love clock's tickin' and it's takin' a lickin'
now Iit's runnin' out a' time
Tik Tok, my love clock's tickin'
and it's runnin' out a' time

I spent time earning for things I was yearning
no time for loving to find
I kept on doin' the things I was doing
to keep from losing what I thought was mine
but my clock was a' runnin' and I saw what was comin'
I'd be leaving all those things behind
'cause what was missin' was a little bit a' kissin'
and a little bit of lovin' time

Tik Tok, my love clock's tickin'
now it's runnin' out a' time
I been doin' the things I shouldn't
should'a left those things behind
My love clock's tickin' and it's taking a lickin'
now it's runnin' out a' time
Tik Tok, my love clock's tickin'
and it's runnin' out a' time

So now I'm a' changing and I'm not playing
I've learned my lesson this time
Now I'm doin' what I should'a been doin'
just barely in the nick of time
Maybe I'll discover love's just around the corner
if I give it just a little bit of time
No longer waitin', no longer hesitatin'
for a total lovin' frame of mind

I said,
Tik Tok, my love clock's tickin'
now it's runnin' out a' time
I been doin' the things I shouldn't
should'a left those things behind
My love clock's tickin' and it's takin' a lickin'
now it's runnin' out a' time
Tik Tok, my love clock's tickin'
and it's runnin' out a' time

Tik Tok, my love clock's tickin'
and it's runnin' out a' time
Tik Tok, my love clock's tickin'
 and it's runnin' out a' time
Tik Tok, Tik Tok, Tik Tok, Tik Tok, Tik Tok ( sing progressively softer slower)

I woke up at 5 a.m. with those lyrics and melody in my brain and I didn't even go to bed until about 2 a.m. Don't know why little sleep and waking up like that delivers songs in my head.
Haven't posted in a while and hope to maybe get back to doing more of it in the near future.

Good to see you posting again… This one is a real ticker! Hardly a single man doesn't worry about running out of time. Probably why Viagra is so successful as a boost to the impossible.

All I can say, is good luck. True love can be quite elusive, but when we find it, it's magical. And then the hard part starts. As I often tell my kids, it takes a lot of work to make a relationship work, and my wife and I have been together for 42 years, and we're still working to keep love alive.
