Father time
   I couldn't make her wanna stay
   I couldn't seem to find the words to say
   Now I have to live in yesterday
   Father time
  
   I thought that you were on my side
   I thought that I could keep our love alive
   I thought that I could keep her satisfied
  
   The clock keeps tickin' and I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
   I'm knockin' at the door of your heart but I can't break through
  
   CHORUS
   Father time
   Grant me just another day
   Of our love I tried to make her stay
   Father time
   Don't tell me it's too late
   All my life you know that I would wait
   Father time
  
   Now she's gone
   She didn't even say goodbye
   I guess she didn't have the heart to try
   She didn't even have the guts to lie
   Father time
   Only you can turn the page
   And close the curtain on this empty stage
   Only you can take my pain away
  
   My heart keeps breakin' and my body keeps aching for you
   It's time to hold on but there's nothing left to hold on to
  
   CHORUS
  
   Father, father can't you see I'm depending on you
   I'm dying at the door to your heart and I can't break through
  
   CHORUS
  
   She's your child make her mine
   Father time
