Hourglass Lyrics

We stood beside the quiet frozen ocean tides

It felt just like how time stands still when I look in your eyes

Bluer than the clearest waters

Deeper than the doubts that hide behind

Never seen anything like it

That was the only time

There was not a thing worth saying that we couldn't talk about

Like life and love, then God above and all the things we're tryin' to figure out

From sipping coffee heart-to-hearts to singin' songs in Central Park

And every word that leaves your lips had such a lovely sound

Never heard anything like it

That was the only time

Mhh-hmm-mmm

Then we walked where the sea meets land, I felt the sand slip through my hands

We may as well have been inside an hourglass

You looked at me a bit concerned, I told my heart "don't speak those words"

But if I didn't they'd have burned a hole straight through my shirt

Never felt anything like it

I told you all you mean to me 'cause I can't live with regret

From what I've seen, this life's too brief to keep these things a secret

I've never known reality to look just like my dreams but

There you were in front of me

And I don't believe

I'll ever meet anyone like you

That was the only time

That was the only time

That was the o-ooo-ooo-ooonly time

That was the only time
