Time will tell, time will tell
|
Time alone will tell
|
|
When I was just a little boy only six years old
|
I asked my daddy what big things my future hold
|
He said, Son, when you grow up to be a man,
|
The facts of life you will start to understand
|
Nobody knows just what tomorrow may bring
|
So I want to tell you now, and listen while I sing
|
|
Father said,
|
Time will tell, time will tell
|
Time alone will tell
|
|
Now I'm a lonely man trying to make life on my own
|
Ever since the day I was born, I never have a happy home
|
Just like the river, I've been running ever since
|
The day I was born in that broken down little town
|
I'm wondering now just what my gain will be
|
'Cause it seems to me, happiness I'll never see
|
|
Mama said,
|
Time will tell, time will tell
|
Time alone will tell
|
|
What he say now,
|
Time will tell, time will tell
|
Time alone will tell
|
|
Time keeps on changing like the weather and the seasons
|
For every mistake, Mama said, there must be a reason
|
After a storm, there's got to be a calm
|
So I think I'll wait a while and try to wear a smile (Wear a smile)
|
|
Mama said,
|
Time will tell, time will tell
|
Time alone will tell
|
|
What he say now,
|
Time will tell - I know, I know!
|
Time will tell - said I know
|
Time alone will tell
|
|
One more time now
|
Time will tell - I believe
|
Time will tell - oh yes, I do!
|
Time alone will tell - I believe that...
