Time will say nothing but I told you so,
\nTime only knows the price we have to pay;
\nIf I could tell you I would let you know.<\/p>\n
If we should weep when clowns put on their show,
\nIf we should stumble when musicians play,
\nTime will say nothing but I told you so.<\/p>\n
There are no fortunes to be told, although,
\nBecause I love you more than I can say,
\nIf I could tell you I would let you know.<\/p>\n
The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,
\nThere must be reasons why the leaves decay;
\nTime will say nothing but I told you so.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the roses really want to grow,
\nThe vision seriously intends to stay;
\nIf I could tell you I would let you know.<\/p>\n
Suppose all the lions get up and go,
\nAnd all the brooks and soldiers run away;
\nWill Time say nothing but I told you so?
\nIf I could tell you I would let you know.<\/p>\n
