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've 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 who said goodbye. Now you're asking me to give it one more try. Well only time will tell If you're gonnastand 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 you've finally seen the light That you've missed my love and you want to make it right Chorus: But only time will tell If you're gonnastand 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 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 gonnastand 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 Time will tell Do you believe in me? Time will tell If we're gonna be together Only time will I want a love to last forever Time will tell Only time will tell
