Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I will take my time this time
I'm gonna make a rhyme this time
[Verse 2]
I'll ring the bell this time
The dreamin's over, I'm gonna sing "Gotta Wing" this time
I've no sweets to sell this time
The scheming's over, I'm gonna be only me this time
[Verse 3]
Most unfortunately, my dreams never knew the ground
Every mirror I see reminds me you're not around
I let you down
[Verse 4]
All my stories tell this time
The dreaming's over, I'm gonna bring everything this time
[Verse 5]
Most unfortunately, my dreams never knew the ground
Every mirror I see reminds me you're not around
I let us down
[Verse 6]
I'll ring the bell this time
The dreamin's over, I'm gonna sing "Gotta Wing" this time
[Verse 7]
I will take my time this time
I'm gonna make a rhyme this time
I will make a rhyme this time
I'm gonna take my time this time
