One Grain of Sand - Eddy Arnold

One, one, one grain of sand

One, one, one grain of sand

Just one little grain of sand

Can change your life and ruin your plans

Undermine your house of love

Bring it tumbling down

One, one, one grain of sand

Once upon a mountain top a castle stood

Carved out of rock and stone, iron and wood

Then one day a grain of sand grew into an iron latch

Undermine the mountain side and the castle tumble down

One, one, one grain of sand

A lover spoke an angry word that left the tears

The tears led to a quarrel, love disappeared

That word was like a grain of sand

That undermined the things they’ve planned

It shook up the house of love

And brought it tumbling down

One, one, one grain of sand

Just one little grain of sand

Can change your life and ruin your plans

Undermine your house of love

Bring it tumbling down

One, one, one grain of sand

One, one, one grain of sand

One, one, one grain of sand…
