TIME WILL SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO,
|
TIME ONLY KNOWS THE PRICE WE HAVE TO PAY;
|
IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW.
|
|
IF WE SHOULD WEEP WHEN CLOWNS PUT ON THEIR SHOW,
|
IF WE SHOULD STUMBLE WHEN MUSICIANS PLAY,
|
TIME WILL SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO.
|
|
THERE ARE NO FORTUNES TO BE TOLD, ALTHOUGH,
|
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I CAN SAY,
|
IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW.
|
|
THE WINDS MUST COME FROM SOMEWHERE WHEN THEY BLOW,
|
THERE MUST BE REASONS WHY THE LEAVERS DECAY;
|
TIME WILL SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO.
|
|
PERHAPS THE ROSES REALLY WANT TO GROW,
|
THE VISION SERIOUSLY INTENDS TO STAY;
|
IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW.
|
|
SUPPOSE THE LIONS ALL GET UP AND GO,
|
AND ALL THE BROOKS AND SOLDIERS RUN AWAY;
|
WILL TIME SAY NOTHING BUT I TOLD YOU SO?
|
IF I COULD TELL YOU I WOULD LET YOU KNOW.
