the years pass 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 passes by 

lifting us in the end 

the years pass by

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 passes 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
