| It’s a rare occasion
|
| When your plans and expectations
|
| Come down just exactly how you planned them
|
| Hey, life’s just that way
|
| You better face the facts, sweet lady
|
| Things change from day to day
|
| It all depends upon the situation
|
| Who can say, any way?
|
| Time will tell
|
| Oh, and we’ll both know so very well
|
| Time will tell
|
| So just be patient
|
| Until you reach the realization
|
| You can’t have joy without a little sadness, too
|
| That’s just the way it is, hey
|
| And girl, I believe we’re gonna make it
|
| But not without our share of ups and downs
|
| You can’t expect life to be a total paradise
|
| But if we just pray together, girl, it will be so nice
|
| Time will tell
|
| Oh, and then we’ll both know so very well
|
| Time will tell, oh, baby
|
| Oh, oh, girl
|
| Take a little time out
|
| And I’m sure that you will see, ah
|
| You just keep on holdin' on, oh, love
|
| You gon' be able to make it with me
|
| Hey, oh, oh, baby
|
| I need you, I want you, girl
|
| I’ve got to have you, ah
|
| Give me your time, just wait on me
|
| Oh, girl, there’s no tellin' how happy we gon' be |
