Lyrics
THERE WAS A TIME
There was a time when all I wanted was to hold you and kiss you and never let you go.
There was a time when all I wanted was to touch you and love you and feel you around me so.
There was this time, not so very long ago
When our love seemed to be right,
It seemed to take flight and grow.
Please tell me what happened to that time?
Was it in wintertime, that we became entwined?
Or was it summertime, when I first knew you were mine?
Had the colors of fall broken through when I first gazed at you?
Or had spring begun when we were one?
There was a time when all I needed was to see you, be with you and never leave your side.
There was a time a time when all I needed was to love you, think of you and have you always be my bride.
There was this time, not so very long ago
When our love seemed to be right,
It seemed to take flight and grow!
Please, tell me what happened?
Tell me why did this happen?
Tell me what happed to that time?
