Lyrics
TIME WAS WHEN EARTH AND SKY APPEARED TO BE GRAND
BUT NEVER GRANDER THAN I
TIME NOW TO WARM MY MEMORY
FOR IT SEEMS I DON'T REMEMBER WHY
1) Each little child seems certain of his worth
What a shame the boy dies with the man
Yet there was one called Christ the carpenter's son
He was sure that love had a plan
TIME WAS WHEN SOUND OF ANGEL WINGS
FLUTTERED NEAR TO ME, APPLE OF HIS EYE
TIME NOW TO BE THAT CHILD AGAIN
TIME TO SING AND TELL MY FEARS GOODBYE
2) When I was young, for me God lit the sun
And the stars of course they spelt my name
Now that I've grown, these things that once I would own
Have all changed. This world's not the same
TIME WAS WHEN SOUND OF ANGEL WINGS
FLUTTERED NEAR TO ME, APPLE OF HIS EYE
TIME NOW TO BE THAT CHILD AGAIN
TIME TO SING AND TELL MY FEARS GOODBYE
