You could spend your whole life wanting what you don't have 
Tangled in the pain and strife, dragging up the ghosts of your past 
You can curse the rain, but the river remains 
Even as it all goes by... 
Baby it's a long road to the promised land 
And there are dreams we hold in the palm of our hands 
But we can never know how the promise will end 
Even as it all goes by 
Flying through the hourglass like a grain of sand 
Every moment opens right in our hands 
So love me like a slow dance on a fast train 
Kiss me as the world flies past and the sceneries change 
And as time rolls through I will hold on to you 
Even as it all goes by 
Flying through the hourglass like a grain if sand 
Every moment opens right in our hands 
As fleeting as the first light on a window sill 
Reaching through the darkest night, it can never be still 
Like the earth that spins, where it ends it begins 
Even as it all goes by, even as it all goes by 
Either way it all goes by
