Looking through an old school atlas I found your photo once again The sand is falling through your fingers As you smile into the lens. One of these days we'll get together One of these days we'll take the time One of these days we'll get together Right back to the starting line. Met you at the busy corner Hardly time to say hello I'm in the phone book call me sometime Sorry now I'll have to go. Well I hear you're married how's it going A son and daughter just like me Before you know it school and homework I must go now it's nearly three Dreamt last night that we were running Once again along the strand School days over we were writing Good intentions in the sand Traffic lights arranged this meeting Who's that man beside you now Your son? He's seventeen already! Lights turned green, I'll have to fly. Met your son at the busy corner Heard the news and shook his hand And still you smile out from the photo as the sand falls from your hands.
