Captain & Tennille - If There Were Time Songtexte

if there were time
oh i would buy you a ribbon of rain
and a silver tongued nightingale
to sing out your name

if there were time
oh i would fly you across the room
then i'd carry you back again
through the afternoon

if there were time
wouldn't we have a time
and wouldn't we set the stars to dancing
with our heartbeats keeping time

if there were time
oh i would wake you when the snowfall comes
then we'd watch those flakes dissolve again
beneath the winter sun

but time is a messenger
that comes and goes so fast
and while thinking up the good times
all our good times have passed
