MATT TAYLOR - Hourglass Lyrics

We stood beside the quiet frozen ocean tides
It felt just like how time stands still when I look in your eyes
Bluer than the clearest waters
Deeper than the doubts that hide behind
Never seen anything like it
That was the only time
There was not a thing worth saying that we couldn't talk about
Like life and love, then God above and all the things we're tryin' to figure out
From sipping coffee heart-to-hearts to singin' songs in Central Park
And every word that leaves your lips had such a lovely sound
Never heard anything like it
That was the only time
Mhh-hmm-mmm
Then we walked where the sea meets land, I felt the sand slip through my hands
We may as well have been inside an hourglass
You looked at me a bit concerned, I told my heart "don't speak those words"
But if I didn't they'd have burned a hole straight through my shirt
Never felt anything like it
I told you all you mean to me 'cause I can't live with regret
From what I've seen, this life's too brief to keep these things a secret
I've never known reality to look just like my dreams but
There you were in front of me
And I don't believe
I'll ever meet anyone like you
That was the only time
That was the only time
That was the o-ooo-ooo-ooonly time
That was the only time
