he looks and sees the sands of time
falling once again
he wishes he could realign
her dreams but there's no chance
and if he looks up to the sky
he can still see her starry eyes
watching the sunset on that night
but now there's nothing he can do to bring her back
she's on her way to somewhere, and he's no longer in her life
and he would give a thousand years for just one single day
to have her in his arms again, but the sands still sink away
and he can smell her perfume in the air
just for a moment, he closes his eyes and she is there
but nothing he can do will change the way that fate has gone
not even another message left on her cell phone
yet he dreams of the impossible for that is all he knows
and if the sands of time would fall back to the way things used to be
he could tell her what he's feeling now, and maybe she would finally see
she looks and sees the sands of time
drifting in the wind
she wishes she could just rewind
her life to what had been
and if she looks up to the sky
she can see his sparkling eyes
watching her drive away that night
and now there's nothing left to do but to come back
he's bound to still be waiting there, and she can't get him off her mind
and she would trade a million days for just a moment gained
to run into his arms again, and the sands pause in their place
and he can smell her perfume in the air
just in a second, he opens his eyes and she is there
and something that he did changed the way that she had gone
just a simple message left on her cell phone
and his dreams of the improbable have now become the truth
since the sands of time have been so kind
as to favor friendship true
