Another Day Slips Away       Larry Dunn © ‘03

 

 

Verse

             The Western sky is lit in crimson flames

             As the sinking sun sets the heavens ablaze

             Turquoise blue turns deep violet shades

             As another day slips away

 

             Evening meals are simmerin’ on kitchen stoves

             And over dinner tables the day’s stories are being told

             One more sun sets as the night unfolds

             Another day slips away

 

Bridge

             I stand in wonder, humbled and amazed

             At the mountain peaks crowned in a crimson blaze

             … The Almighty painted across the sky

             At how quickly days and dreams fly by

 

Verse

             Memories are polished in the sands of time

             As they sift through the hourglass the brighter they shine

             All jagged edges mellow down by and by

             As another day slips away

Bridge

             As another day…slips through my fingers and under my skin

             And I can’t help but think, every now and then

             ‘Bout the places I’ve been, the people I’ve crossed

             The games I’ve won and the loves I’ve lost

 

Verse

             The western sky is lit in crimson flames

             As the sinking sun sets the heavens ablaze

             Turquoise blue turns deep violet shades

             As another day slips away
