Lyrics

I love you more
Than words can say,
Each passing day
Our love grows stronger.

We know that we
Will find a way
To help us stay
Together longer.

Look at the heavens
And spot our lodestar,
Shining its light
To guide our pathway.

We understand
That we don’t have to go far
To find happiness
In life’s cosmic ballet.

I hold the glass,
Once filled on top,
Its crystals dropped,
The bulb now clearer.

Our time is dear,
Just grains of sand
Slip through my hand,
As night grows nearer.

Let’s shout at the heavens
To reset our time clock,
Back to the moment when
We first embraced.

Let’s ask for the time-keeper’s
Warehouse to restock
The minutes and seconds
That have not been replaced.

You pear-shaped bulbs
Joined at the waist,
What is your haste
To shed your cargo?

I wish you’d stayed
Top-heavy still,
With no more spill
To set the bar low.

Cruel little hourglass
You stop for no one,
Shifting your silica
Till time runs out.

Yet we have the power
To reverse the motion
By flipping you over,
A sweet turnabout.
