Memories flicker day by day
Hour by hour, and minute by minute
Every second passing by
Is like a lifetime without you in it
Yesteryear, when you were mine
Our love breezed by in a twinkled eye
A blink between our first hello
And our last goodbye
Slowly sifting through my hands
Falling like grains of sand
The hourglass of our past is finally empty
And there ain’t no way of knowing
Where all this time’s a-going
Sifting away somewhere between
A flickering dream and fading memories
Remember when we were lying in bed at night
Your hand in mine
Laughing through the rain and lightning
That took out all the power lines?
When worries of a simple kind
And easy times weren’t hard to find
Forgiving and forgetting you
Was never on my mind
Slowly sifting through my hands
Falling like grains of sand
The hourglass of our past is finally empty
And there ain’t no way of knowing
Where all this time’s a-going
Sifting away somewhere between
A flickering dream and fading memories
A flickering, fading dream
