To the wisdom of the ages

Listen

To the words of many sages

Live each day, as if it were your last

It's written in the stars, your destiny is cast

Bb Bbaug

And that hourglass, runs too fast no doubt

For the sands of time (break)

Are running out

Live each day, for happiness can't wait

And love while you may, but heed the hand of fate

Bb Bbaug

If the finger points, it's too late no doubt

For the sands of time, are running out

C Caug

But the man who turns, and escapes somehow

Is the wisest of men (break)

And to such a man, I'd bow
