Lovers in a Dangerous Time
Embracing Love's Light Amidst Life's Shadows
Lyrics
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
Time seems to pass quickly as days go by.
We never get to stop and open our eyes
People are constantly busy, not taking time to appreciate their surroundings.
One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall
Anticipation of potential challenges or difficulties.
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
Contrasts the moments of worry with the sudden appreciation of beauty.
