Sands of Time (From the B’way Musical, ”Kismet”)
I walk in silence
Selow a rainy sky
I find myself
In a pantomime
'Cause I've been trying
Hard to make you speak
In a monologue
Since you're out of reach
We're dyin' flames of yesterday
I hope you'll find some other ways
'cause
I'll be losing mine
In the sand of time
I'm a fool for yesterday
When I feel like wanna say
I'll be holding you
Thru the heat and thru the cold
Could you ever feel the same
And I remember
The way wе used to smile
But now the bеlls
Have begun to chime
Can I survive it
Breathing lonely air
I know I'm free
But do I dare
We're dyin' flames of yesterday
I hope you'll find some other ways
'cause
I'll be losing mine
In the sand of time
I'm a fool for yesterday
When I feel like wanna say
I'll be holding you
Thru the heat and thru the cold
