Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, they say time waits for no one, dear
And it takes near death to show one, yeah
But time waited for you and me
[Verse 2]
We know real love takes forever, yeah
And the clock ticks faster every year
But time waited for you and me
[Chorus]
And if we don't watch out
Time waited
Yeah, and if we don't watch out
Time will run off on us
But if we move right now
Time waited
All of the world is here for us
Ain't no spare time
[Verse 3]
And I did cry on your shoulder, dear
At the thought of getting older, yeah
But time waited for you and me
[Chorus]
And if we don't watch out
Time waited
Yeah, and if we don't watch out
Time will run off on us
But if we move right now
Time waited
All of the world is here for us
Ain't no spare time
[Bridge]
Time waits for no one
Well, no one 'cept you and me
We've got forever, dear
Take all the time you need
[Chorus]
And if we don't watch out
Time waited
Yeah, and if we don't watch out
Time will run off on us
But if we move right now
Time waited
All of the world is here for us
Ain't no spare time
[Chorus]
And if we don't watch out
Time waited
Yeah, and if we don't watch out
Time will run off on us
But if we move right now
Time waited
All of the world is here for us
Ain't no spare time
