lyrics

Grains of Sand

Words and music by  P. T. Butterfield   ©  2000

Verse 1
I’ve lived a carefree life,             And I headed on down south
Not a penny to my name            But I played this workin' game
Like grains   of  sand

Verse 2 
I’ve seen your pretty face          And I’ve kissed your  velvet lips 
I’ve seen your skin so clear       But I’ve watched it disappear
Like grains  of sand

Chorus
Sweet dreams and music                       Is all my heart can take
Sweet dreams and music                       My partner I have made
When you’re dancing a waltz              With no one to share
With no one to hurt, any more                 And you’re all alone 

Verse 3 
As I look up,  to the sky                      With my  human eye
Each star has it’s life                             But a zillion million more
Like grains of sand

Verse 4
Well I thank you  Ma and Pa            Where ever you are ?
You taught me right from wrong          But each child’s a different one       Like grains of sand

Repeat Chorus:

Repeat Verse 1:

Paul Thomas Butterfield Bushey, UK

A big thank you to those who have purchased my music.

Likes; for what it's worth: Folk (wooden music), bluegrass, orchestration, pop and jazz. Dislikes more music than he likes, especially pretentious rap music, pushed by the mandatory dance video, trying to look Kool. Please no more dance videos, tattoos, mean looking posers and the jewelry. It will only look dated within months. . ... more
