Little boy when you speak

I can ' t help but kiss your cheeks

I love the way you grab my hands

And tell me all about your plans

Rocket high comets fly

You and I could take a ride

And fly away to Neverland

And give our best to Peter Pan

When you reach for the stars

Don ' t forget who you are

And please don ' t turn around and grow up way too fast

See the sand in my grasp

From the first to the last

Every grain becomes a memory of the past

Oh life ' s an hourglass

Life ' s an hourglass

Story ' s read prayer is said

Close your eyes sleepyhead

While angels linger in your dreams

And hold you in their feathered wings

Just like you I was small

Not that long ago at all

I wish you all the happiness

That God gives freely if you ask

When you reach for the stars

Don ' t forget who you are

And please don ' t turn around and grow up way too fast

See the sand in my grasp

From the first to the last

Every grain becomes a memory of the past

Oh life ' s an hourglass

Life ' s an hourglass
