The Sands of Time

The sands of time

Vs 1
The sands of time keep moving,
ever faster.
I notice as each day passes by

Bridge 1
Why doesn't time have mercy on me?
The sands of time are going to bury me
So, I live each day without a care,
bend my knees in earnest prayer

Vs 2
The sands of time keep raging,
ever silent.
The lines upon my face, cannot lie.

Bridge 2
At least together we can face the storm
Hold onto me and I will keep you warm
No matter how hard the sand will blow
My love for you will not grow old


Chorus
The sands of time...
oh, the sands of time...
We journey through the sands of time...
I am yours and you are mine.


Vs 1
The sands of time keep moving,
ever faster.
I notice as each day passes by


Bridge 2
At least together we can face the storm
Hold onto me and I'll keep you warm
No matter how hard the sand will blow
My love for you will not grow old


Chorus
The sands of time...
oh, the sands of time...
We journey through the sands of time,
I am yours and you are mine.

We journey through the sands of time,
I am yours and you are mine.
I am yours and you are mine..

repeat fade
