Lyrics Time Waits for No One - Paul Carrack

You know I still remember
There was a time I was young and carefree
There were so many things that I wanted to do
I didn't know where to begin

With the road stretchin' out before me
I was alive with a heart full of dreams
But dreams don't always come true
Sometimes you gotta prove you're not some lazy wannabe

Yes, it's true that nothing good lasts forever
What are we fighting about?
Because for you I would never say 'never'
There's only one way to find out

Time waits for no one
That's my philosophy, oh yeah
Each passing day that goes by
I'm still learning to see

And it seems to me time waits for no one
Yeah, that much is true
And I'm asking you
Tell me before it's too late
Should I be waiting for you?

'Cause time waits for no one
Time waits for no one

If you want my opinion
I'll give it to you, darlin', straight from the heart
From where I stand in my shoes
We got no time to lose
We should be makin' a start

I've told you over and over
There couldn't be a stronger love made for you
Get your feet off the ground, no more messin' around
There's nothing to lose but your pride anymore

Oh, 'cause you bring the joy to my heart
Just like you promised to do
And even though I'm not getting any younger
My heart's devoted to you

'Cause time waits for no one
Baby that's just the truth
I'm gonna make every day of my life
Devoted to you

'Cause time waits for no one
Baby there's more to do
Now that we've learned how to fly
Let's give love one more try
Yeah, it's up to you

Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
