Time Will Show The Wiser

(album: The Merry-Go-Round - 1967)

My mind keeps on telling me
That this is no good
My heart is aching
And tells me I should
And only time will show the wiser

For I've fallen in love with
A girl that's not mine
If I take her, it will hurt him
A very best friend of mine

But I know I need someone
To hold, to love
And my mind says I shouldn't
And my heart says I should

And I don't know which to go by
My mind or my heart?
This is so confusing
It's tearing me apart
Time, it will show the wiser

And I wish someone could help me
But the decision is mine
And my morals and emotions
Are hard to combine

And there is no easy way out
So I'll let it just ride
'Til the day that he finds out
Of the love I hide

'Cause I don't know which to go by
My mind or my heart?
This is so confusing
It's tearing me apart
Time, it will show the wiser
Time, it will show the wiser
Time, it will show the wiser
