Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can cry a million tears
You can wait a million years
If you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long
[Verse 2]
When your morning turns to night
Who'll be loving you by candlelight?
If you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long
[Verse 3]
Maybe I've got a lot to learn
Time can slip away
Sometimes you got to lose it all
Before you find your way
[Verse 4]
Take a chance and play your part
Make romance, it might break your heart
But if you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long
[Verse 5]
It may rain, it may shine
Love will age like fine red wine
But if you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long
[Verse 6]
Baby, you and I've got a lot to learn
Don't wanna waste another day
Maybe you got to lose it all
Before you find your way
[Verse 7]
Take a chance and play your part
Make romance, it might break your heart
But if you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long
[Verse 8]
Don't wait
Don't wait
