| The time has come for me to tell you
|
| All the things I really feel about you
|
| 'Cause lately time’s been moving on
|
| And every day we seem to grow a little older, too
|
| The more I think of you the less I seem
|
| To know the way I feel about you
|
| And all I think is all I know
|
| And all I know is all I want to think about is you
|
| I used to think I knew it all
|
| And that the love you gave was mine for keeping
|
| I guess I cared too much for you back then
|
| To see the simple magic of it all
|
| I long to see the things we saw
|
| When we were young and could not see so clearly
|
| When all the world was just a blur of coloured lines
|
| That I’d trace most sincerely back to you
|
| And you’d say
|
| «Time to rest your weary head
|
| Take your wings and go to bed
|
| I know you want to know it all, my darling»
|
| And I’d say
|
| «Set me down and rock me
|
| Rock me to sleep»
|
| I see the sparkle in your eyes
|
| You say I’m beautiful and I believe you
|
| And I will never feel more beautiful
|
| Than when I’m wide awake beside you
|
| I’ll wander far and wide and wonder
|
| How it feels to fall in love with someone
|
| Without the need to show her everything I’ve learnt
|
| About the world since you’ve been gone
|
| And you’d say
|
| «Time to rest your weary head
|
| Take your wings and go to bed
|
| I know you want to show it all, my darling»
|
| And I’d say
|
| «Set me down and rock me
|
| Rock me to sleep»
|
| There was a time it seemed the time itself
|
| Was free and would go on forever
|
| Wanted to cling to it but now I see
|
| Its fading is its greatest treasure, ooh
|
| And you would say
|
| «Time to rest my weary head
|
| Take my wings and go to bed
|
| I know you want to feel it all, my darling»
|
| And I’d say
|
| «Sit me down and rock me, oh
|
| Sit me down and rock me, oh darling
|
| Sit me down and rock me
|
| Rock me to sleep» |
