Lyrics

Father Time
I couldn't make her wanna stay
I couldn't seem to find the words to say
Now I have to live in yesterday
Father Time
I thought that you were on my side
I thought that I could keep our love alive
I thought that I could keep her satisfied
The clock keeps tickin', and I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Lord
I'm knockin' at the door of your heart, but I can't break through
Father Time
Grant me just another day
Of our love, I tried to make her stay
Father Time (time)
Don't tell me it's too late
All my life, you know that I would wait
Father Time
Now she's gone
She didn't even say goodbye
I guess she didn't have the heart to try
She didn't even have the guts to lie
Father Time
Only you can turn the page
And close the curtain on this empty stage
Only you can take my pain away
Where my heart keeps breakin', and my body keeps aching for you, Lord
It's time to hold on, but there's nothin' left to hold on to
Father Time
Grant me just another day
Of our love, I tried to make her stay
Father Time (time)
Don't tell me it's too late
All my life, you know that I would wait
Father Time
Father, father, can't you see I'm depending on you, Lord?
I'm dying at the door to your heart, and I can't break through
Father Time
Grant me just another day
Of our love, I tried to make her stay
Father Time (time)
Don't tell me it's too late
All my life, you know that I would wait
Father Time
She's your child, make her mine
Father Time
