Lyrics
Cigarette ashes
His empty glass
They seem to tell me it's over at last
His parting kiss brought tears to my eyes
Was it goodnight or was it goodbye?
And only time,
Only time,
Only time,
Only time,
Time will tell
Time will tell oh yes it is,
Time will tell Wrinkled up sofa scuff marks on the floor shows where he was sitting he was sitting a moment ago he's never left this early before is this a sign he'll be back no more? And only time, only time, only time, only time, time will tell time will tell oh yes it is, time will tell I felt a change the moment you came walking, hh coming through my front door This conversation was almost the same Still I could tell that something was wrong, his feelings were changed Now empty those ashtrays His glass put away, straighten my sofa oh was my solid race But will I ever, will ever erase from my mind the way you looked me, the way you looked me, when you kissed me goodnight. Only time (Only time) Only time (Only time) Only time Only time Only time Only time (Only time) Only time (Only time) Only time will tell
