Wilkinsons, The

Grains of Sand

Wilkinsons, The


Bobby wears his cap and a baseball jersery 
That carries the name of his favorite star 
He's waiting at the curb Daddy better hurry 
It's quarter to 12 and the games about start 
Momma comes outside and she breaks the bad news 
Daddy called to say he can't go 
Bobby can't believe Daddy missed their weekend 
Three times in a row 
And another grain of sand 
Slips through the hor glass 
Out of our hands 
The days go flying past 
And sometimes we forget 
That mountains of regret 
All start with grains of sand 
Everytime "I love you" goes unspoken 
Everytime "I'm sorry" goes unsaid 
Every door before us left unopened 
Is just another chance we may never get 
If we just live our lives like there's no tomorrow 
Think of all the things we change 
Time is something precious we can't borrow 
Once it runs away 
And another grain of sand Slips through the hour glass 
Out of our hands 
The days go flying past 
And sometimes we forget 
That mountains of regret 
All start with grains of sand
