Father time

I couldn't make her wanna stay

I couldn't seem to find the words to say

Now I have to live in yesterday

Father time



I thought that you were on my side

I thought that I could keep our love alive

I thought that I could keep her satisfied



The clock keeps tickin' and I keep on thinkin' 'bout you

I'm knockin' at the door of your heart but I can't break through



Father time

Grant me just another day

Of our love I tried to make her stay

Father time

Don't tell me it's too late

All my life you know that I would wait

Father time



Now she's gone

She didn't even say goodbye

I guess she didn't have the heart to try

She didn't even have the guts to lie

Father time

Only you can turn the page

And close the curtain on this empty stage

Only you can take my pain away



My heart keeps breakin' and my body keeps aching for you

It's time to hold on but there's nothin' left to hold on to



Father time

Grant me just another day

Of our love I tried to make her stay

Father time

Don't tell me it's too late

All my life you know that I would wait

Father time



Father, father can't you see I'm depending on you

I'm dying at the door to your heart and I can't break through



Father time

Grant me just another day

Of our love I tried to make her stay

Father time

Don't tell me it's too late

All my life you know that I would wait

Father time

She's your child make her mine

Father time
