Little boy
When you speak I can't help but kiss your cheeks
I love the way you grab my
hands and tell me all about your plans
Rockets high
Comets fly
You and I could hitch a ride
And fly away to Neverland and give our best to Peter Pan
When you reach for the stars, don't forget who you are
And please don't turn around and grow up way to fast
See the sand in my grasp, from the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life is an hourglass, life is an hourglass
Stories read, prayers said
Close your eyes sleepy head
While angels linger in your dreams
and hold you in their feathered wings
Just like you, I was small, not that long ago at all
I wish you all the happiness,
and god gives freely if you ask
When you reach for the stars, don't forget who you are
And please don't turn around and grow up way to fast
See the sand in my grasp, from the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life is an hourglass,
life is an hourglass
life is an hourglass
