This Time

The night once was young

Just like you and I

And love we thought we’d never lose

A picture of perfection

We painted on our eyes

Always looking for something new

And now time has dealt its hand

And here we are still standing

Waiting for our ships to come in

And the streets are getting lonely

And the the wind whispers if only

Well maybe it’s time for if only to begin

So raise up your flag

Put the moon in your sack

Forgive and let go and never look back

Cause time won’t wait for us

To get it perfectly right

So if you’re willing

I’ll dance with you tonight

Dance wait you tonight

And I can see that you’ve

Been here as long as I

So many times fell from this carousel

The tears in our clothing

Every bump from the ride

We’ve got to know ourselves far too well

So darling life is short

And the sun is moving faster

So put your lipstick on

Or we’re headed for disaster

And I think it’s safe to say that

We’re both a work in progress

So let’s put down our pride

Before we miss the boat again

So raise up your flag

Put the moon in your sack

Forgive and let go and never look back

Cause time won’t wait for us

To get it perfectly right

So if you’re willing

I’ll dance with you tonight

Put stars in your flask

Tell the band to play

Stop waiting around for the perfect sunny day

Let’s make love in the rain

Leave the time behind

And I promise to you

I’ll stay this time

Stay this time

Stay this time

Stay this time…
