 Father time
 I couldn't make her wanna stay
 I couldn't seem to find the words  to say
 Now I have to live in yesterday
 Father time
 I thought that you were on my side
 I thought that I could keep our love  alive
 I thought that I could keep her satisfied
 The clock  keeps tickin' and I keep  on thinkin' 'bout you
 I'm knockin'  at the door of your heart  but I can't break through
Father time
Grant  me just another  day
Of  our love I tried  to make her stay
 Father time
 Don't  tell me it's too late
All  my life you  know that I would wait
 Father time
 Now she's gone
 She didn't even say goodbye
 I guess she didn't have the heart to try
 She didn't even have the guts to lie
 Father time
 Only you can turn the page
 And close the curtain on this empty stage
 Only you can take my pain away
 My heart keeps breakin' and my body keeps aching for you
 It's time to hold on but there's nothin' left to hold on to
 Father time
 Grant me just another day
 Of our love I tried to make her stay
 Father time
 Don't tell me it's too late
 All my life you know that I would wait
 Father time
Father,  father can't you see  I'm depending on you
 I'm dying  at the door to your heart  and I can't break through
 Father time
 Grant me just another day
 Of our love I tried to make her stay
 Father time
 Don't tell me it's too late
 All my life you know that I would wait
 Father time
 She's your child make her mine
 Father time
