Can't Treasure It

You cannot treasure it
When you lose it
Like sand through fingers fall
No way to recall

Moments gone like whispers
In the night so dark
Can't hold them in your hands
Leaves a haunting mark

You can't treasure it
Once it's lost
Memories fade with the cost
Time just slips away

You look back and wonder
What might have been
If you'd held on tighter
Kept closer within

Years go by like pages
In a book you can't read
Trying to find the meaning
But pain is all you see

You can't treasure it
Once it's lost
Memories fade with the cost
Time just slips away

You can't treasure it
Once it's lost
Memories fade with the cost
Time just slips away
