Hourglass Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time traveling, moving at the speed of light
Moments we are gathering are the key to life
Your picture in a frame takes me to a place and time
When I saw the future with your heart and mine

[Chorus]
And you'll know, you'll know
When I give you everything
Everything I am
And we'll go
We'll go together hand-in-hand
Slipping through the hourglass home

[Verse 2]
I can't help it if I'm wondering
Is it all just make-believe?
Everything that we've been through
Always you and me

[Chorus]
Is it so? Is it so?
When I ask myself
"Could this be a dream?"
We'll know
We'll know together hand-in-hand
Slipping through the hourglass home
[Verse 3]
And my love
It doesn't matter where we are
I lay down low, for all I am
Is all we'll be

[Chorus]
You'll know
Yes, you'll know
When I give you everything
Everything I am
And we'll go
We'll go together hand-in-hand
Slipping through the hourglass home
Together hand-in-hand
Slipping through the hourglass home

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
