Time Lyrics

[Verse 1: Eric Woolfson]
Time, flowin' like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again?
If ever
But time keeps flowin' like a river
To the sea

[Verse 2: Eric Woolfson]
Goodbye, my love
Maybe for forever
Goodbye, my love
The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again?
If ever
But time keeps flowin' like a river (On and on)
To the sea, to the sea

[Chorus: Eric Woolfson]
'Til it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

[Verse 3]
Goodbye, my friends
(Goodbye, my love; now I'm asleep)
Maybe for forever
Goodbye, my friends
(Who knows where we shall meet again?)
The stars wait for me
Who knows where we shall meet again?
If ever
But time keeps flowin' like a river (On and on)
To the sea, to the sea
[Chorus: Eric Woolfson]
'Til it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

[Outro: Eric Woolfson]
Forevermore
Forevermore
Forevermore

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
