the years pa** 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 pa**es by lifting us in the end the years pa** 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 pa**es 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
