Blue Balloon - The Hourglass Song-许冠杰

词：J. Brooks

曲：J. Brooks

I have a blue balloon a happy tune

Long enough to last me all through the afternoon

I have the New York Times fourteen dimes

The explanation of the most profound nursery rhymes

Before the rivers run dry

Before the last sad goodbye

Let's be kind to one another we can try

So don't just throw your love about

It's not too late to find out

Before the sand has all run out of the hourglass

The carnival is here the clowns appear

Plastic painted people hold each other near

Hopes are always high they echo off the sky

When it's over

There's just the lonely sound of goodbye

Too late to hide it now

It's all around us now

Oh how I want you girl

To lie beside me now

While there still is time

And all my poems still rhyme

Let me love you now

We can drink the good good wine

Before the rivers run dry

Before the last sad goodbye

Let us be kind to one another we can try

So don't just throw your love about

You and me hey let's find out

Before the sand has all run out of the hourglass
