Hourglass lyrics

Little boy, when you speak I can't help but kiss your cheeks I love the way you grab my hands And tell me all about your plans Rocket high, comets fly You and I could take a ride And fly away to Neverland And give our best to Peter Pan When you reach for the stars Don't forget who you are And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast See the sand in my grasp From the first to the last Every grain becomes a memory of the past Oh, life's an hourglass Life's an hourglass Story's read, prayer is said Close your eyes sleepyhead While angels linger in your dreams And hold you in their feathered wings Just like you, I was small Not that long ago at all I wish you all the happiness That god gives freely if you ask When you reach for the stars Don't forget who you are And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast See the sand in my grasp From the first to the last Every grain becomes a memory of the past Oh, life's an hourglass Life's an hourglass Life's an hourglass
