If the hands of time
Were hands that I could hold,
I'd keep them warm, and in my hands
They'd not turn cold.

Hand in hand, we choose the moments that should last,
The lovely moments that should have
No future and no past --
The summer from the top of a swing,
The comfort in the sound of a lullaby,
The innocence of bees in the spring,
But most of all the moment when love first touched me.

All the happy days would never learn to fly
Until the hands of time would choose to wave goodbye.

The summer from the top of a swing,
The comfort in the sound of a lullaby,
The innocence of bees in the spring,
But most of all the moment when love first touched me.

All the happy days would never learn to fly
Until the hands of time would choose to wave goodbye.
