W _ ell I have a ti-ny hourglass
That sits u pon a shelf
I see wi thin its crystals
The vision of my self _
And I_ see a man of sorrow
Whose dreams are torn a part
I see the one who walked away
The one who broke his heart _
_Oh please let__ _ _ _ __ the sands of time run free _ _ _ _
L _ _ et it bring new life and happiness to me _ _ _ _
O _ _ h please count__ _ _ _ __ each day and set me free _ _ _ _
L _ _ et the sands of time e rase your memo ry _ _ _ _ _
A _ nd as I sit h _ ere gazing
Your lovely face ap pears
But then the glass grows misty
Through the falling of my tears _
T _ hen a stream of sand keeps falling
On to the cone be low
A grain for every dream we knew
And treasured long a go _
_Oh please let__ _ _ _ __ the sands of time run free _ _ _ _
L _ _ et it bring new life and happiness to me _ _ _ _
O _ _ h please count__ _ _ _ __ each day and set me free _ _ _ _
L _ _ et the sands of time e rase your memo ry _ _ _ _
L _ _ et the sands of time e rase your memo ry
