Sands of Time

How far away is the road to Heaven How close are we to the fires of Hell Maybe we should treasure each heartbeat Before facing the last toll of life's bell How many candles are brightly burning How deep the base of the dreaming well Should we pause for thoughts on lifes journeys At those feelings that we just can't dispel Sands of time, sands of time.... Flowing, drifting,... sands of time Sands of time, sands of time.... Blowing, shifting,... sands of time How many days will shine for our summers How high will be the paths that we climb Perhaps we should reflect in silence Final moments to drink youth's sweet wine Sands of time, sands of time.... Flowing, drifting,... sands of time Sands of time, sands of time.... Blowing, shifting,... sands of time Drifting slowly amongst the sands of time Cherished moments passing by Sands of time may flow on forever So many dreams to dream before we die Sands of time, sands of time.... flowing Drifting through the sands of time Sands of time, sands of time.... blowing Shifting through the sands of time Sands of time, sands of time.... Flowing, drifting,... sands of time Sands of time, sands of time.... Blowing, shifting,... sands of time Jane Shields (C)
