Hourglass by Mindy Gledhill

I saw this on Stephanie Nielson's blog and have been humming it's lovely melody since. This song is just beautiful. Mindy Gledhill's song Hourglass from the album Anchor - now on my list of things to buy when we get back. I looked up the lyrics too cause I have to memorize the words so I can sing it to the kids at bedtime - just a beautiful song. - kind of a sleepy song like my two other favorites - John Denver's "Sunshine on My Shoulders" or the Tabernacle Choir singing "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need" - all three of those are the kind of songs I can put on repeat and listen to alllll day - love it.

HOURGLASS

Little boy, when you speak
I can't help but kiss your cheeks
I love the way you grab my hands
And tell me all about your plans

Rocket high, comets fly
You and I could hitch a ride
And fly away to Neverland
And give our best to Peter Pan

When you reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are
And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life's an hourglass
Life's an hourglass

Story's read, prayer is said
Close your eyes sleepyhead
While angels linger in your dreams
And hold you in their feathered wings
Just like you, I was small
Not that long ago at all
I wish you all the happiness
That God gives freely if you ask

(Chorus) lyrics mindy gledhill life's an hourglass music anchor album
