Flowers In the Sand

Time’s like water – it runs through your hands 
Before you know it, you’re an old man
Don’t be one to question how you lived out life’s demands
While missing the flowers in the sand

Tell her that you love her
Don’t let another day go by
Take them by the river
Teach them how to fly

Time’s like a river that’s flowing fast and clear
We will never again be here
It’s so easy to live by fear as time slips through the years
Grab hold of today and keep it near

Show her that you see her
Don’t let another day go by
Take them by the river
Teach them how to cry

Don’t tell me that you wish you could have been there
Just be here now
Don’t let another day go by wishing
Don’t let the sun go down

Tell her that you love her
Don’t let another day go by
Take them by the river
Don’t ever wonder why
