|_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ Well I have a ti-ny hourglass That sits upon a shelf I see within its crystals The vision of myself  And I see a man of sorrow Whose dreams are torn apart I see the one who walked away The one who broke his heart  Oh please let____ the sands of time run free       Let it bring new life and happiness to me       Oh please count____ each day and set me free       Let the sands of time erase your memory            And as I sit here gazing Your lovely face appears But then the glass grows misty  Through the falling of my tears  Then a stream of sand keeps falling Onto the cone below  A grain for every dream we knew And treasured long ago  Oh please let____ the sands of time run free       Let it bring new life and happiness to me       Oh please count____ each day and set me free       Let the sands of time erase your memory       Let the sands of time erase your memory
