Toys of Time Lyrics by The Stone Poneys

Evergreen, Vol. 2

1967

[Verse 1]
Don't feel bad when the nice things you've had
Get tattered and must be laid away
The nice things you had, they're so many grains of sand
And they're only the toys in time's great game
Time gives and time takes away
[Verse 2]
And don't look back when your childhood has ended
You knew it couldn't last forever
The young things the spring brings snow covers over
And they're only the toys in time's great game
Time gives and time takes away
[Verse 3]
And don't ask why when a close friend dies
Though it feels like a page has been ripped from your life
We run our race in an hourglass in space
And we're only the toys in time's great game
Time gives and time takes away
