If There Were Time - Captain & Tennille

if there were time

oh i would buy you a ribbon of rain

and a silver tongued nightingale

to sing out your name

if there were time

oh i would fly you across the room

then i’d carry you back again

through the afternoon

if there were time

wouldn’t we have a time

and wouldn’t we set the stars to dancing

with our heartbeats keeping time

if there were time

oh i would wake you when the snowfall comes

then we’d watch those flakes dissolve again

beneath the winter sun

but time is a messenger

that comes and goes so fast

and while thinking up the good times

all our good times have passed
