Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Sands of Time
[Verse 1: Abdul Ra'oof]
Hours pass
The weeks turn into months
And I'm still alone
Wondering when I'll see you
Still I watch the hourglass
The symbol of our love
When we were so sure
Our love would be everlasting

[Chorus: Abdul Ra'oof]
Don't change your mind
We are the sands of time
Oh, the sands of time
Don't ever run out on me

[Verse 2: Mary Davis]
Time is loneliness
When you're not around
But I continue turning the hourglass
Upside-down 'til I see you
And whatever life brings my way
I'm always gonna know one thing
With you I'll always share all my love
Nothing can change it
Because we're bound by the sands of time
[Chorus: Abdul Ra'oof & Mary Davis]
I won't change my mind
(No, I won't)
We are the sands of time
Oh, the sands of time
(Ooh, baby)
Don't ever run out on me

[Bridge: Abdul Ra'oof, Mary Davis, Both]
Thought time had run out
I almost lost hope
(No, don't)
It's hard to keep the faith
Oh, but if you believe
You can make almost anything
You ever want come true
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And I'll wait for you, baby
You know I want you, baby
And if we believe
It will only come true

[Chorus: Abdul Ra'oof & Mary Davis]
I won't change my mind
(I'm so lonely when you're not around)
We are the sands of time
(Turn the hourglass upside down)
Oh, the sands of time
(We won't ever, never, never)
Don't ever run out on me
(Hoo, hoo, hoo)
I won't change my mind
(Oh, oh, oh)
We are the sands of time
(Bound by the sands of time)
Oh, the sands of time
(The sands of time)
Don't ever run out on me
[Outro: Mary Davis]
Believe we'll always come together
In the sands of time
