Time Will Tell
He: Love, a treasure beyond measure,
Entwined with the sublime,
Entrances and transports us
Beyond the bonds of time.
Transcending sun and shadow,
My love no notion knows
Of ticking clocks and sun dials,
Fickle fads, whims and vogues.
She: Time will tell, time will tell.
He: I love you, my love will never die,
I love you more than time can tell.
Earth spins and mortals measure time
As sun and shadow fall.
Swept from the earth,
My heart is where the soul
Not matter measures all.
I love you, my love will never die,
I love you more than time can tell.
She: Time will tell, time will tell.
Time flies, some blossoms bloom as roses,
Others fade and fall.
Just puffs of air,
Words quaver as the lips
Tell what may fade and pall.
He: I love you, my love will never die,
I love you, more than words can tell.
She: Time might tell, time could tell.
Mmmmm . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Well . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,
Could . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .?
What if . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .?
Now time is making up its mind....
Hmmmm... Well..., it might say yes.
My heart could hint how it's inclined.
My soul proclaims right off it rhymes
With... Just one guess!
—Wendell H. Hall
(The melody's ready. Needs some chords. Composed when I was a single 26-year-old adolescent.)
