If time were grains of sand                        Sifting through the glass                             Would we stop to notice                               The few grains left, it has?

Trick'ling down the days                            Almost out of time                                       What can we do, together                        Ignorance is the crime

If I say, "I love you"                                        Can you pass it on?                                         You tell him, he tells her                           Before our time is gone                                

Just perhaps, if we all meant it                    Before that  last granule slips                         We can turn the glass up over                  Resetting time to gently sift                           

Yet, even if it's cast in stone                           That these, our final hours                                As time winds down the ticking clock            Why not let love be ours?
