Asia - There Was A Time

There was a perfect time for us, it seems so long ago We were so nai?ve about the things we both should know The best intentions come to nil when love has lost desire And slowly years will show the dying embers of a fire There was a time when I loved you And a time when I lied I put none up above you And I tried, yes I tried I'd stand aside, so you could be free But all of the time I was running from me, I'd lay down my life, if you'd asked that of me, Yeah, there was a time To look at all the years gone by, I made mistakes it's true It's always just the little things remind me of you All too often, I will sit, and wonder where I've been For every time I look at you, I'll know you're thinking of him There was a time I respected you, There were times when I cried When I was expected to, I would stand at your side And you ask me would I do it again, I would tell you the truth, look you straight in your eyes And I'd say it though most would think me insane I'd say it although I have nothing to gain Yeah, There was a time There will come a time for you There was a time when I loved you And a time when I lied There were none up above you And for you, I'd have died But the big wheel turns at last When all my emotions were tied up with you My hopes and my dreams could never win through The path has been cleared, now I'm free of you Yeah, now is my time There will come a time for you
