[Verse 1]
Looking at the pictures of days gone by
Memories of you and me and the love we left behind
Caught up in a past revelation

[Chorus]
Looking through the sands of time
Watch love floating through my mind
Want to go back to that day
But the sands of time don’t flow that way

We’ll find a way to get back to each other somehow
Can’t believe how fast time goes by
Tomorrow came in the blink of an eye
It’s funny how much I still love you
Been apart so long it would seem so impossible
But looking through the hourglass
I realise I’m living in the past
[Chorus]
Looking through the sands of time
Watch love floating through my mind
Want to go back to that day
Looking through the sands of time
Watch love floating through my mind
Want to go back to that day
But the sands of time don’t flow that way
