Don't feel bad when the nice things you've had Get tattered and must be laid away The nice things you had They're so many grains of sand And they're only the toys in time's great game Time gives and time takes away And don't look back when your childhood has ended You knew it couldn't last forever The young things the spring brings Snow covers over And they're only the toys in time's great game Time gives and time takes away And don't ask why when a close friend dies Though it feels like a page has been ripped from your life We run our race in an hourglass in space And we're only the toys in time's great game Time gives and time takes away
