[Verse 1] Every moment I wish that I could pause it I've tried to bottle up my joy But time is like sand I'm just a human hand The tighter I hold The more I let go [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh Slippin' through my fingers Like time Like sand Oh-oh-oh-oh Slippin' through my fingers Like time Like sand The tighter I hold The more I let go [Verse 2] Now I see it For the very first time But time's already passing While I'm wondering why My hands are so small I'm trying to recall The day she was born It feels like last week But now she's asking questions With a smile full of teeth [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh Slippin' through my fingers Like time Like sand Oh-oh-oh-oh Slippin' through my fingers Like time Like sand The tighter I hold The more I let go [Bridge] So let's live in this moment 'Cause time is borrowed Yeah Let's hold on to this moment 'Cause soon it's gone [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh Slippin' through my fingers Like time Like sand Oh-oh-oh-oh Slippin' through my fingers Like time Like sand The tighter I hold The more I let go
