Lyrics

And you,
Yes you speak to me tonight.
And you say so – say so,
That once upon a time.
When love,
Love was a white dove.
And hope,
Long live hope,
Could spin the whole world ’round.I’m talking east to west,
I’m talking lost and found,
Get up to the mountain top,
I’m going to drop unto the ground – that’s once upon a time.

You raise me up when I know you’re around.
But God only knows,
What God only knows.
You lift me up and you spin me around,
God only knows,
But God only knows.

That’s time,
Time looked around herself,
Time got excited,
That’s when we all got started.

Still I hear you,
Yet still you speak to me tonight.
You say « Then how come out of love is all this cruelty arising? »
Well I said: « Look. »
« Well will you look at you you’re frightened. »
I see that you smile through weariness,
But there is not much else enlightened – well, that’s a question down to time.

You lift me up when I know you’re around.
God only knows.
God only knows.
You raise me up when I know you’re around.
God only Knows.
God only Knows.

That’s time.
