Until It's Time For Me To Go

(album: Facets - 1966)

I'm not a dream
Not an angel
I'm a man
You're not a queen
You're a woman
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
Here I'll stay
Until it's time for me to go

We were different, worlds apart
Not the same
We laughed and played
At the start, like in a game
You could have stayed
Outside my heart
But in you came
Here I'll stay
Until it's time for me to go

Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me now

This love of mine
Has no beginning
Or no end
I was an oak
Now I'm a willow
I can bend
And though I know I'll never
See your face again
Still I'll stay
Until it's time for me to go
