Plenty Of Time

(专辑： It Amazes Me - 1965)

Dear Aunt Alice, why should I marry him?
My heart's young, I'd keep it free
Oh, Aunt Alice, there's always time enough
Then she smiled and took my hand and she said to me

When I was just a young thing, I can recall
I dreamt of seeing Paris in Fall
And London in the Springtime, oh, I'd see it all
I'd see it all some day

For I had plenty of time, plenty of time
Why should I worry?
Yes, I had plenty of time, plenty of time
What was the hurry?

When I was still a young thing, oh, love was for fun
Kisses and laughter, then it was done
Yes, when the game was over, swiftly I'd run
Oh, how I'd run away

For I had plenty of time, plenty of time
Why should I worry?
Yes, I had plenty of time, plenty of time
What was the hurry?

But a world that's right can soon go wrong
And I guess I waited much too long
For I've never been to Paris or to London in the Spring
And that love that I, I intended to choose the years just refused to bring

And now it suddenly seems that I've run out of dreams
I can hold on to
Once I had plenty of time, oh, plenty of time
Where has it gone to?

Dear Aunt Alice, I think I'll marry him
All too soon it's all too late
Yes, Aunt Alice, there's never time enough
Let me hold my love today and let tomorrow wait
