Well, we're all getting on. Funny how we now understand and appreciate what the last generation told us.

lyrics

SANDS OF TIME (Addison)


THE LAST FEW DAYS OF SUMMER,
THEN AUTUMN LEAVES TURN GOLD,
I’M WALKING IN THE SUNSHINE,
BUT FEELING IT’S GETTING COLD.

WISH I KNEW THEN, THINGS I KNOW NOW,
THESE YEARS GO BY, FASTER NOW SOMEHOW, SOMEHOW.

THEY SAY THE SANDS OF TIME,
KEEP SLIPPING THROUGH YOUR HAND,
MANY YEARS I WASTED,
‘TIL IT TOOK ME TO UNDERSTAND.

WISH I KNEW THEN, THINGS I KNOW NOW,
THESE YEARS GO BY, FASTER NOW SOMEHOW, SOMEHOW.


GENERATIONS THEY COME AND GO,
IT’S SOMETHING WE CAN’T UNDO,
MAKE THE MOST OF HERE AND NOW,
BECAUSE WE’RE ONLY PASSING THROUGH.

WISH I KNEW THEN, THINGS I KNOW NOW,
THESE YEARS GO BY, FASTER NOW SOMEHOW,
TOOK ME TOO LONG, TO UNDERSTAND THE CRIME,
OF NOT APPRECIATING, THE SANDS OF TIME, THE SANDS OF TIME.
