[Verse]
Time's a shadow slipping by my feet
A fragile whisper in this crowded street
Hourglass breaking grains of gold they cling
Oh time my love you're a precious thing
[Verse 2]
Moments tumble like the autumn leaves
Caught between the air and what we believe
Every heartbeat ticks a silent ring
Oh time my love you're a precious thing
[Chorus]
Hold it tight don't let it go
Every second's a seed we sow
Blink and it's gone like a bird in spring
Oh time my love you're a precious thing
[Verse 3]
We paint on clocks with colors bold
Hoping they don't fade when we're old
Yet it slips right through life's broken string
Oh time my love you're a precious thing
[Bridge]
If I could freeze it I'd save your smile
Lock it down just for a little while
But time it flies and spreads its wings
Oh time my love you're a precious thing
[Chorus]
Hold it tight don't let it go
Every second's a seed we sow
Blink and it's gone like a bird in spring
Oh time my love you're a precious thing
