The Hands Of Time (brian's Song) Lyrics - Perry Como

If the hands of time 

Were hands that I could hold, 

I'd keep them warm and in my hands 

They'd not turn cold. 

Hand in hand we'd choose 

The moments that should last. 

The lovely moments that 

Should have no future and no past. 

The summer from the top of the swing, 

The comfort in the sound of a lullaby, 

The innocence of leaves in the spring, 

But most of all the moment 

When love first touched me! 

All the happy days 

Would never learn to fly, 

Until the hands of time 

Would choose to wave Goodbye.
