slippin on through

Slipped on through

Yeah I couldn’t sleep last night.
I was thinking of you.
Thinking of me.
Simply put baby I was thinking of us.
How it all used to be way back when.
We had the dream baby, right in our hands.
Somehow like the sands of time.
It just slipped on through.
It just simply slipped on through.

It was a dream between meant for two.
We held on tight but not tight enough it seems.
We drifted apart over time too.
The hourglass was up all too soon.
Gone, long gone are you?
A dream melted into pain.
I sure do miss you.

We had the dream baby, right in our hands.
Somehow like the sands of time.
It just slipped on through.
It just simply slipped on through.

I saw you with your new man.
Walking hand in hand.
Smilin and playin with every step.
My heart crumbled when I saw you.
I remember when I was that man.
Now I am just on the outside.
On the outside of a dream meant for two.
How long though before his hourglass runs out too?
They say it is how it is with you.
One never gets to close to wrap their love around your heart.
You just say times up and slip on through.

We had the dream baby, right in our hands.
Somehow like the sands of time.
It just slipped on through.
It just simply slipped on through.

I thought we were different.
I am sure he does too.
What is it you get from this?
Is it about your ego too?
Baby, I loved you for all the right reasons.
You left me for all the wrong ones.
I am more than another grain of sand.
That is just slippin on through.
Someday time will run out on you too.
Then maybe the sleepless and lonely nights will belong to you.
The sands are slippin on through.
They will catch up with you too.

Baby come back to me.
Come back to me now.
Before it just slips on through.
We had the dream baby, right in our hands.
Somehow like the sands of time.
It just slipped on through.
It just simply slipped on through.
