The Sands Of Time
A Love Story
Remember that eventful day
When we were both so young
That day you stole my heart away
The nightingale’s all sung
Those breathless days of yesteryear
If only we had more
Those many winsome years my dear
Now more behind, than fore
We both endured the sifting of
The passing grains of sand
A passionate, undying love
As we walk hand in hand
How precious if our coupled life
Could carry on in bliss
To always be that man and wife
Who ends each day in kiss
Now thirty years beyond our prime
More wise than we were then
Let’s flip this hourglass of time
So we might thrive again
