Father time   I couldn't make her wanna stay   I couldn't seem to find the words to say   Now I have to live in yesterday   Father time      I thought that you were on my side   I thought that I could keep our love alive   I thought that I could keep her satisfied      The clock keeps tickin' and I keep on thinkin' 'bout you   I'm knockin' at the door of your heart but I can't break through      Father time   Grant me just another day   Of our love I tried to make her stay   Father time   Don't tell me it's too late   All my life you know that I would wait   Father time      Now she's gone   She didn't even say goodbye   I guess she didn't have the heart to try   She didn't even have the guts to lie   Father time   Only you can turn the page   And close the curtain on this empty stage   Only you can take my pain away      My heart keeps breakin' and my body keeps aching for you   It's time to hold on but there's nothin' left to hold on to      Father time   Grant me just another day   Of our love I tried to make her stay   Father time   Don't tell me it's too late   All my life you know that I would wait   Father time      Father, father can't you see I'm depending on you   I'm dying at the door to your heart and I can't break through      Father time   Grant me just another day   Of our love I tried to make her stay   Father time   Don't tell me it's too late   All my life you know that I would wait   Father time   She's your child make her mine   Father time
