Lyrics Paul Carrack

Paul Carrack

Time Waits For No One

You know I still remember

There was a time I was young and carefree

There were so many things that I wanted to do

I didn't know where to begin

With the road stretchin' out before me

I was alive with a heart full of dreams

But dreams don't always come true

Sometimes you gotta prove you're not some lazy wannabe

Yes, it's true that nothing good lasts forever

What are we fighting about?

Because for you I would never say 'never'

There's only one way to find out

Time waits for no one

That's my philosophy, oh yeah

Each passing day that goes by

I'm still learning to see

And it seems to me time waits for no one

Yeah, that much is true

And I'm asking you

Tell me before it's too late

Should I be waiting for you?

'Cause time waits for no one

Time waits for no one

If you want my opinion

I'll give it to you, darlin', straight from the heart

From where I stand in my shoes

We got no time to lose

We should be makin' a start

I've told you over and over

There couldn't be a stronger love made for you

Get your feet off the ground, no more messin' around

There's nothing to lose but your pride anymore

Oh, 'cause you bring the joy to my heart

Just like you promised to do

And even though I'm not getting any younger

My heart's devoted to you

'Cause time waits for no one

Baby that's just the truth

I'm gonna make every day of my life

Devoted to you

'Cause time waits for no one

Baby there's more to do

Now that we've learned how to fly

Let's give love one more try

Yeah, it's up to you

Time waits for no one

Time waits for no one
