This is a song about how love transcends time. I guess your guess is good as mine.

lyrics
For those of you who measure time, I guess your guess is good as mine
The clock just stopped for me
Cause baby, can't you see?
I'll always be here, cause today you're mine
You're mine, you're mine, you're mine
The minutes, the hours, the days and weeks and years
(No, don't take too long)
Don't mean a thing to me because it all appears
(Sometimes it's here, sometimes it's gone)
As such a lovely flash before my eyes
(Oh, what a surprise)
The love I feel is all that's real, it's never gonna die
-guitar solo-
The minutes, the hours, the days and weeks and years
(No, don't take too long)
Don't mean a thing to me because it all appears
(Sometimes it's here, sometimes it's gone)
As such a lovely flash before my eyes
(Oh, what a surprise)
The love I feel is all that's real, it's never gonna die

And though I know one day we'll die
And years of smoke will cloud our eyes
The clock just stopped for me
Cause baby can't you see?
I'll always be here, cause today you're mine
You're mine, you're mine, you're mine

An Ever Changing Thing

Thought for the Day

"In “V’Ger’s Dream” Michael Droske sings in the voice of the modified deep space probe V’Ger, expressing the long-lost explorer’s longing for connection to the Creator. V’Ger, you will remember, is actually a Voyager space probe, launched from Earth more than 300 years before the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Charged with knowing all that was knowable, the little craft caught its big break when it slipped through a worm hole and was modified by a race of intelligent machines. In this laid-back, plaintive, Beach Boysesque song, V’Ger wonders "why you don’t write” as the “days go passing by like dust floating on the solar wind”."
-Gary Wilkens

Another time, another life, another way to get through here
Another song, another chance, another dance you once knew
Why don’t you call, why don’t you write, I could have sworn I was you here
The days go passing by like dust floating on the solar wind
Look what I saw, look what I’ve done, it’s all a part of my dream
Preserve it all, don’t let it fade as it washes down the stream
Look what I was, I was a king, I was a fool to believe it
The days go passing by like dust floating through a laser beam

When I left so long ago I knew you
Our songs a golden record in my arms
40,000 years or so until I find a star
And I swing on by
Wish I knew why

To all the worlds, to all the times, to all the makers of music
Just read the lines, just spin it up, put on the record again
I’ve gotta hope someone will find me in the empty confusion
The days go passing by like dust floating on the solar wind

When I left so long ago I knew you
Our songs a golden record in my arms
40,000 years or so until I find a star
And I swing on by
Wish I knew why
