V1 October folds into November  Leaves begin to turn and shades replace Orange, red to brown  I know it's something I should remember  But somehow, I just don’t  V2 My time slips on and brown hair turns grey And my thoughts seem to run as I chase Things that distract me I lose focus and just seem to forget Maybe December it’ll come to me Prechorus There was a moment when time moved slow But that was pretty long ago Maybe I should pause and reflect To remember all the things that I forget Chorus Life is like an hourglass Time sifts too fast When we're upside down Maybe we could start again And take a moment To watch the moments pass Each grain is gone in an instant Unless we watch the colors fade V4 The changing of the guard comes in a flash So enjoy watching the colors change Every dog has its day Its time for me to slow down and enjoy It's December and I'm remembering Chorus Life is like an hourglass Time sifts too fast When we're upside down Maybe we could start again And take a moment To watch the moments pass Each grain is gone in an instant Unless we watch the colors fade Outro Distractions are just that Nothing more, nothing less Enjoy the hourglass And the colors that quickly pass
