Lyrics
THERE WAS A TIME, WHEN YOU AND I
SPENT EVERY DAY, ALONE IN SOME WAY
MOSTLY JUST TO HANG AROUND
AND I KNEW DEEP IN MY HEART
WE WOULD GO ON THE SAME WAY
I'D SPEND THE REST OF MY DAYS MAKING TIME WITH YOU.
YOU BRIGHTENED EACH SLOW MOMENT
IN SO MANY WAYS
HALCYON DAYS,
I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE YOU'D DESCRIBE IT
WITH YOU BY MY SIDE, YOU AMPLIFIED
MY LIFE'S REFRAIN
I SPENT THE TIME OF MY LIFE MAKING TIME WITH YOU
BUT THERE WERE THINGS YOU NEEDED
THAT I COULDN'T GIVE
YOU HAD TO GO WITHOUT ME TO LIVE
THEN EACH DAY WAS A GRAY ALLEYWAY
INDIFFERENT AND DREAR
EACH SECOND MY HEART RECKONED AS ONE HUNDRED YEARS
THEY SAY THAT ALL THINGS PERISH
FROM UNDER THE SKY
BUT NOT YOU AND I,
WE LIVED THIS SONG AND I DECIDED
YOU'LL COME BACK TO ME
THE WAY THAT I SEE WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
I'LL SPEND THE REST OF MY DAYS
MAKING TIME WITH YOU
JUST MAKING TIME WITH YOU
JUST MAKING TIME WITH YOU
