Time will tell, time will tell |
|
Time alone, alone will tell |
|
When I was just a little boy, only six years old |
|
I asked my daddy, "What he thinks my future hold" |
|
He said, "Son, when you grow up to be a man |
|
The facts of life you will start to understand |
|
Nobody knows, just what tomorrow may bring |
|
So I wanna tell you now and listen while I sing" |
|
Father said, "Time will tell, time will tell |
|
Time alone, alone will tell" |
|
Now I'm a lonely man trying to make life on my own |
|
Ever since the day I was born, I never have a happy home |
|
Just like a river, I've been running ever since |
|
The day I was born in that broken down little town |
|
I'm wondering now just what my gain will be |
|
'Cause it seems to me, happiness I'll never see |
|
Mama said, "Time will tell, time will tell |
|
Time alone, alone will tell" |
|
What he say now, time will tell, time will tell |
|
Time alone, alone will tell, oh yeah |
|
Time keeps on changing like the weather and the seasons |
|
"For every mistake", Mama said, "There must be a reason" |
|
After a storm, there's got to be a calm |
|
So I think I'll wait a while and try to wear a smile |
|
Mama said, "Time will tell, time will tell |
|
Time alone, alone will tell" |
|
What he say now, time will tell, time will tell |
|
Time alone, alone will tell |
|
One more time now |
|
Time will tell, time will tell |
|
Time alone, alone will tell |
|
One more time now |
|
Time will tell, time will tell |
|
Time alone, alone will tell |
