Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And you
Yeah, 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
[Verse 2]
I'm talking east and west
Well I'm talking lost and found
Get up to the mountain top
I'm gonna drop unto the ground
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
That's time
Time looked around herself
Time got excited
That's when we all got started
[Verse 5]
Still I hear you
Yes 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's not much else enlightened
Well that's a question down to time
[Verse 6]
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
Yeah
