You could spend your whole life wanting what you don't have Tangled in the pain and strife, dragging up the ghosts of your past You can curse the rain, but the river remains Even as it all goes by... Baby it's a long road to the promised land And there are dreams we hold in the palm of our hands But we can never know how the promise will end Even as it all goes by Flying through the hourglass like a grain of sand Every moment opens right in our hands So love me like a slow dance on a fast train Kiss me as the world flies past and the sceneries change And as time rolls through I will hold on to you Even as it all goes by Flying through the hourglass like a grain if sand Every moment opens right in our hands As fleeting as the first light on a window sill Reaching through the darkest night, it can never be still Like the earth that spins, where it ends it begins Even as it all goes by, even as it all goes by Either way it all goes by
