Little angel, beating heart
Simply swinging in the park
Seems you play just like me
You yell, "Catch me if you can"
And build castles in the sand
How can it be?
I grow older, you grow colder
And it seems that life is just like an hourglass piece
One may be bigger, the other one quicker
But you and I, we'll drip the same 'til we cease
When your summer turned to fall
Began first grade like us all
It sure looked different than mine
When your teacher held your hand
And tried to help you understand
She could never explain why
I grow older, you grow colder
And it seems that life is just like an hourglass piece
One may be bigger, the other one quicker
But you and I, we'll drip the same 'til we cease
('Til we cease, 'til we cease)
('Til we cease, 'til we cease)
('Til we cease)
Oh
Though your tears fell like rain
You no longer feel pain
Or hear the sound of your name
I know God made each man
And he laid out our plans
Will He tell me why?
Ooh, oh
Tell me why
(I grow older, you grow colder)
(Just like an hourglass)
(I grow older, you grow colder) Mmm
(I grow older, you grow, just like an hourglass piece)
(We all drip the same)
(I grow older, you grow colder)
(Just like an hourglass)
(I grow older, you grow colder)
(We all drip the same)
(I grow older, you grow, just like an hourglass piece)
(We all drip the same) I'm an hourglass
(I grow older, you grow colder)
(Just like an hourglass) You're an hourglass
(I grow older, you grow colder)
(We all drip the same)
(I grow older, you grow, just like an hourglass)
We all drip the same 'til we cease
