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
