THERE IS A TIME

Come to my arms and I will be so tender
Let me reveal all that living can be
Snug like a child in the shelter of my shoulder
Then as I hold you, you may start to love me

There is a time for spring and for sighing
A time to laugh
A time too for crying
A time for dreams and for sweet pretending
And then it seems that suddenly it's ending

This time, this time, this time, there's no time to waste
We know the time we have can not be replaced
This time, this time, this time, let's not hesitate
We know our time is brief and it can not wait

There is a time for hope and beginning
A time to lose a time too for winning
And time to waste on lazy vacations
And a time for haste and beautiful temptations

This time, this time, this time, there's no time to waste
We know the time we have can not be replaced
This time, this time, this time, let's not hesitate
We know our time is brief and it cannot wait

There is a time for fame and for glory
A time for pride, a time to be sorry
A time to drift on bright summer rivers
A time for snow and icicles and shivers

This time, this time, this time there's no time to waste
We know the time we have can not be replaced
This time, this time, this time let's not hesitate
We know our time is brief and it cannot wait

There is a time of Autumn and sadness
A time for youth and love's happy madness
A time for truth and being together
To go for walks in sunny April weather

This time, this time, this time there's no time to waste
We fade away as fast as the morning mist
This time, this time, this time let's not hesitate
So take my love, my life my eager kiss this time

This time, this time, this time, there's no time to waste
We fade away as fast as the morning mist
This time, this time, this time, let's not hesitate
So take my love, my life my eager kiss
For time flows on
And on, and on
