I didn't know what love was 'til I let it slip away I didn't know the night until I lost the day I didn't know the question 'til I was asking myself why Now I know it's my time to cry I had all the heavens and the stars at my command I held love like a rare bird helpless in my hand Oh, but I was cruel and like a fool I let it die Now I know it's my time to cry Time to cry, time to cry Now that it's all over, it's my time to cry They say all's fair in love, who am I to disagree I lived by the sword that now is cutting me There's no getting 'round it, it's one eye for an eye Now I know it's my time to cry Time to cry, time to cry Now that it's all over, it's my time to cry Wish I could find the words to make you change your mind Wish I could feel the warmth of your lips one more time But you're gone forever and the river has run dry Now I know it's my time to cry Time to cry, time to cry Now that it's all over, it's my time to cry Time to cry, time to cry Now that it's all over, it's my time to cry
