I close my eyes

G          Dm              Am

only for a moment, and the moment’s gone.

All my dreams

pass before my eyes, a curiosity.

All we are is dust in the wind.

Just a drop of water in an endless sea.

All we do

crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see.

(Chorus)

Don’t hang on.

Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.

It slips a – way.

All your money won’t another minute buy.

(Chorus)
