Verse

 Old man time is a rare old man

 For a young man he'll ever remainI

 With his long grey beard and his clothes are plain

 Oh Old Man Time is his name.

 As one flower dies

 The old man he cries

 The young man he plants the seeds again

 With a careful hand, he tends the sand,

 Oh, Old Man Time is his name.

Verse

 This old man has an hourglass

 For every soul on the land.

 Oh, Old Man Time, I have seen mine,

 It's the one with the fastest sand.

 No sooner is it turned,

 Back through the glass it's churned,

 I'm wishing i could have each hour again,

 With a careful hand, he tends the sand,

 Oh, Old Man Time is his name.

Instrumental

THE 2nd HALF OF THE VERSE

Verse

 To me, Old Man, your time is rare,

 Did God not give you all my sand?

 Or maybe mine I had to share

 Or is there some left in your hand?

 They tell me time is gold, well maybe it's been sold,

 Or was it simply washed away in rain?

 With a careful hand, he tends the sand,

 Oh, Old Man Time is his name.

 If I brought him a sack,

 Do you think he'd put some back?

 I know one day across my path he'll come,

 But as for now, I can't say how,

 I know that old man's work is far from done.

  PLAY INTRO 3x's

For Old Man Time has just begun
