Today we laid old man Pate to rest
|
His big hands folded across his chest
|
God rest his soul, just two days ago
|
He was in his yard wavin' to me
|
|
As I stood by his grave
|
The impression was strong
|
One minute we're here
|
And the next we're gone
|
And with each breath of life
|
That is given to us
|
We should only have time for love
|
|
So tell me what can be gained
|
By fussing and fighting
|
The answer is left up to us
|
I think it's time we learned,
|
Enough is enough
|
Oh, we should only have time for love
|
|
Sometimes I'm unwilling to open my eyes
|
Just too stubborn to compromise
|
When you stand your ground
|
Oh, there's no backin' down
|
That makes for a long, bitter fight
|
|
And you know it's such a waste
|
To engage in that
|
Tearing each other down
|
In a tit for tat
|
When we could be hard at work,
|
Building a trust
|
Oh, we should only have time for love
|
|
So tell me what can be gained
|
By fussing and fighting
|
The answer is left up to us
|
I think it's time we learned,
|
Enough is enough
|
Oh, we should only have time for love
|
|
Well, isn't it time we learned,
|
Enough is enough
|
Oh, we should only have time for love...

We Should Only Have Time For Love
