Lyrics

There was a time when I thought of no other,
And we sang our own love's refrain.
And our hearts beat as one, as we had our fun,
But time changes everything.

When you left me, my poor heart was broken,
Our romance, it seemed all in vain.
The dark clouds are gone and there's blue skies again,
And time changes everything.

(STEEL GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL)

Now time has passed, I've forgot you,
Mother Nature does wonderful things.
I guess that is true, for me and for you,
'Cause time changes everything.

Oh you can change the name of an old song,
Rearrange it and make it swing.
I thought nothing could stop me from, loving you,
But time changes everything.

(STEEL GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL)

So good luck to you, may God bless you,
I can't say I won't love again.
You've gone your way and I'll go mine,
'Cause time has changed everything.
