Time can

Time can be my friend, or time can run away

Hold me for a slow minute, promise me you’ll stay

Words can help me explain, words can leave me blank

I’ve so many of them to find the right way to thank

To thank you for the dreams, those dreams I long to see

In daylight, against an autumn sky under our maple tree

Time can be my friend, this time the clocks won’t mean a thing

And words can be breathed by lovers hear the song they sing

Dreams were the plans we cried about after myriad false starts

Time after time, words failed but the fire kept burning in our hearts

Oh baby, feel the cure to your ills, God knows it’s more than pills

Ain’t nothing fancy, you don’t need fancy just true love, no frills

Oh baby, zip your coat and grab your keys, drive past the houses and the trees

To our home in the city where your man is waiting here patiently to please

Honey don’t you know time can be our friend; we can laugh as it ticks away

Words won’t be hard to find, how many will we need to be happy every day?

Dreams will be between us, tomorrows of laughter and love

Blessed to finally be sharing the grace of our God above
