Hourglass

​

​

I lost my chance to be your man
I did the best I can its out of my hands
Remember all those nights, dancing with delight?
For the fire we ignite, I won’t go down without a fight 

Can somebody take this hourglass off of my back?
Cause there’s no way of stopping the sand from falling 
Take this hourglass off of my back
Cause you’re the only reason my heart’s still beating
And I know I’ll see you in my dreams tonight, until we meet again

And God only knows the way life’s river flows
Would he save me if in time he sees I'm drowning?
I just want to hold you in my arms, and keep you safe from harm 
Serenade you in my bed and never leave your finger naked

Can somebody take this hourglass off of my back?
Cause there’s no way of stopping the sand from falling
Take this hourglass off of my back
Cause you’re the only reason my heart’s still beating 
And I know I’ll see you in my dreams tonight, until we meet again 

I just want to hold you in my arms, and keep you safe from harm 
Serenade you in my bed and never leave your finger naked

Can somebody take this hourglass off of my back?
Cause there’s no way of stopping the sand from falling
Can somebody, take this hourglass off of my back?
Cause there’s no way of stopping the sand from falling 
Take this hourglass off of my back
Cause you’re the only reason my heart’s still beating

And I know I’ll see you in my dreams tonight, until we meet again
