Lyrics:
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
