 Intr/:

Hello my friend, it sure has been a while

I don't know where the time has gone,

 but I've really missed your smile

 It's been too long

 I got so much to say,

 that I don't know where to start

 Ever since we went our separate ways

 There's been a big hole in my heart

 (But) as I recall, it was you that said goodbye

 Now you're asking me to give it one more try

 Well only time will tell

If you're gonna stand beside me

 through both heaven and hell

 I wanna know that you're behind me

 But only time will tell

If what we have together's

 gonna last forever more

 And so my friend, I hope you understand

 It's hard to put my trust in you

 'Cause I'm afraid you'll leave again

I want to believe, that you've finally seen the light

 That you've missed my love and

 you want to make it right

 But only time will tell

If you're gonna stand beside me

 through both heaven and hell

 I wanna know that you're behind me

 But only time will tell

If what we have together's

  Solo

gonna last forever more

I got no way of knowing

What the future's gonna bring

 So I'll just listen to my heart

Cause it's never lied to me

And what is meant to be

 Only time will tell

If you're gonna stand beside me

 Through both heaven and hell

 I wanna know that you're behind me

 But only time will tell

If what we have together's

 gonna last forever

 (Oh) time will tell

 (time will tell)

Time will tell

 (do you believe me)

Oh, baby, time will tell

 (if we're gonna be together)

Time will tell

 (I want a love to last forever)

 Only time will tell

 (time will tell, time will tell...)

Time will tell...
