the years pass by like songs in my memory    like steps in sand    i know that i've been    there like days that don't end    i know that we've been there    if they don't show    if they don't know    how could this all be true    when life strikes down on them    as the wind passes by    lifting us in the end    the years pass    i know that i've been there    like steps in sand    i know taht we'll be there    if they don't show    if they don't know    how could this be    a true tragedy    when life strikes down on them    and everyone's time is at hand    as the wind passes by again    don't let it fade away    don't let it blow away    wind carries the sand    that lifts us up in the end
