Sand of Time
Gordon Lightfoot
|_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ Well I have a ti-ny hourglass That sits upon a shelf I see within its crystals The vision of myself And I see a man of sorrow Whose dreams are torn apart I see the one who walked away The one who broke his heart Oh please let____ the sands of time run free Let it bring new life and happiness to me Oh please count____ each day and set me free Let the sands of time erase your memory And as I sit here gazing Your lovely face appears But then the glass grows misty Through the falling of my tears Then a stream of sand keeps falling Onto the cone below A grain for every dream we knew And treasured long ago Oh please let____ the sands of time run free Let it bring new life and happiness to me Oh please count____ each day and set me free Let the sands of time erase your memory Let the sands of time erase your memory
