Lyrics

Hour Glass


Mom closed the family Bible, after reading me the names
We laughed and cried at photographs, as we packed them all away
Then Mom showed me an HOUR GLASS, Grandpa made for my Grandma
She said ?Of all the memories they left behind, this HOUR GLASS out shines them all?

?The glass was like their hearts
Their love poured like the sand
On its base there?s an engraving
I hope you?ll understand

He made this to remind them
When you give love it?s never spilled?
It says, ?Be like an HOUR GLASS
Empty your self and be filled?

She said, ?The stars above them sparkled, like moonlight on the sand
As they sat beside the ocean, your Grandpa came up with a plan
With sand and wood he brought back, from their honeymoon
On their one year anniversary, he gave a gift we?ll never loose?

Chorus

Bridge
Mom handed me the HOUR GLASS said ?will you keep this for me?
She cried and said ?I can?t think of a better place for it to be?

And the glass was like our hearts
Our love poured like the sand
On its base there?s an engraving
Now I understand

She gave this to remind me
When you give love it?s never spilled
It says, ?Be like an HOUR GLASS,
Yeah be like an HOUR GLASS
Empty your self and be filled?
