Time, Be My Friend

(album: I'll Meet You Here - 2021)

Time, be my friend, be my friend
Though I have not been so kind to you
Always asked where you were going
Thought you had no way of knowing
Oh no, time, I have not been kind to you

Time, meet me here, I'll meet you here
And we'll go walking for a little while
When I know what I will say
I know there's only now and yesterday
Oh, time, I'll meet you here

'Cause when I thought that I was alone
You snapped your fingers
And a tree came into bloom
And the sun came by to fill my room
Oh, time

You will never tell me something
That has not happened yet
And you will never make a promise
But I can get just what I get
And you will never say you love me
You will never say you love me
But I can love just what I get

Time, I'll make it up to you this time
And we'll go walking down that wide country road
And I will be your brave companion
Your adventurous d'Artagnan
I will be your best receiver
Your goldenest retriever
I'll remember what you taught me
And those treasures that you brought me
Most of all, a lifetime of friends

I came together when I asked you to be one of them
Oh, time, be my friend

'Cause when I thought that I was alone
You snapped your fingers
And a dream came into bloom
And the sun came by to fill my room
Oh, time

You will never tell me something
That has not happened yet
And you will never make a promise
But I can get just what I get
And you will never say you love me
You will never say you love me
You will never say you love me
But let's see what's round the bend
