Please don't turn around

This song is perfect: Hourglass by Mindy Gledhill 
(click to listen)

 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 take 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

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
