Sweet hour of prayer,
Sweet hour of prayer
That [leads?] us from a world of care

(I can't believe I'm starting to forget hymns.)

What used to take two hours now takes all day.

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down

In the wee small hours of the morning
When the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake
Thinking of the guy
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be there if only he would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all

(Hilliard/Mann)

PS: I think this is one of the best examples of alliteration in all songdom!

Twenty-four hours can go so fast
You look around
The day has passed
When you're in love
Time is precious stuff
Even a lifetime isn't enough.

(Bernstein/Comden/Green, from
"On The Town")

To sound my horn I had to develop my embouchure
I found that horn was a bit of a devil to play
So artfully wound to give it a sound
A beautiful sound so rich and round
Oh the hours I had to spend before I mastered it in the end

"Ill wind" Flanders and Swann

Power and the money,
Money and the power
Minute after minute,
Hour after hour.

Minds are subject to what should be done.
Problems solved, time cannot be won.
One hour a day.
One hour at night.
Sees crowds of people all meant for flight.

The Moody Blues

Work it harder, make it better
Do it faster, makes us stronger
