Time Love And Tenderness

The tickin' of the clock, the beating of my heart
Pounding like a drum in the dark for you
If i could conquer time, i'd love you day and night
And make this moment last, baby all my life

Ask me how long i'll need you
Ask me how long i'll be there


Chorus
Forever isn't long enough, to give you my love,
To give you my love
Till the end of time isn't time enough
For everything i wanna do
Forever isn't long enough, to give all my love, to you


I watch you as you sleep, i'm jealous of the night
I'd steal you from your dreams, just to buy more time
So much in my heart, so much in my soul
A lifetime ain't enough to ever let you know


Tell me this will be for always
Tell me you'll always be there


Chorus


'cause the time is passin' by, and the more it slips away
When i look into your eyes, i know...baby
It isn't long enough, to give you my love
Forever ain't enough to give it all to you
There isn't time enough to see it all through
Forever ain't enough to give my love to you

There's always somethin' new about you
Always somethin', takes me by complete surprise
Every time i see you, i see a part of you
Ooh, i've never seen before

Every day and night, the more we know each other
Every single time, the more that i discover


Chorus
It's a new love, always feels like a new love
Every touch is feelin' so much
Like the very first touch
Like a new love, always feels like a new love
It's never old, whenever we make love
And i can't get enough of this new love


I'm still excited, just talkin' to you
I'm still inspired, just walkin' next to you
Girl the way i need you
I find as time goes by, ooh i need you even more


Nothin' feels as good, as good as us together
Nothin' in the world, no, there ain't nothin' better than this...


Chorus


We can just go on and on
Long as we keep this love
Long as we keep this love a....


Chorus

In the night i hear you speak
Turn around, you're in my sleep
Feel your hands inside my soul
You're holding on and you won't let go

I've tried running but there's no escape
Can't bend them, and i just can't break these....


Chorus:
Steel bars, wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever, till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine


Trying hard to recognize
See the face behind the eyes
Feel your haunting ways like chains
'round my heart they still remain


Chorus:


And with every step i take
Every desperate move i make
It's clear to me
What can all my living mean
When time itself is so obscene
When time itself don't mean a thing
I'm still loving you


Chorus:

I talk to you but its not the same as touchin' you
And every time you whisper my name, i wanna run to you
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong

Chorus:
Baby 'cause i'm missing you now
And its drivin' me crazy
How i'm needin' you baby
I'm missing you now
Can't wait till i'm alone with you
To show you how i'm missing you now


Wishin' you were here by my side is all that i can do
Got my arms around my pillow at night, they should be
Holdin' you
Thought i was stronger, how could i know, how could
I know
I can't take this much longer, its so hard on my soul


Chorus:


Baby i just can't wait, till i see your face
Chase away this loneliness inside
When you're close to my heart, right here in my arms
Then and only then, will i be satisfied
I'm missing you now
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong


Chorus:

So you say that you can't go on
Love left you cryin'
And you say all your hope is gone
And what's the use in tryin'
What you need is to have some faith
Shake off those sad blues
Get yourself a new view

Oh, nothing is a sad as it seems, you know
'cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday, you'll laugh at the pain
Somehow you'll get through the heartache
Somehow you can get through the rain


Chorus:
When love puts you through the fire
When love puts you through the test
Nothing cures a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
When you think your world is over
Baby just remember this
Nothing heals a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness


I understand how you're feeling now
And what you've been through
But your world's gonna turn around
So baby don't you be blue
All it takes is a little time
To make it better
The hurt won't last forever


Oh, all the tears are gonna dry you know
'cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday you'll laugh at the pain
You may be down on your luck
But baby that old lucks gonna change


Chorus:


Baby, oh baby you just need some
You just need some
Time, love and tenderness


Time, love and tenderness
The hurt ain't gonna last forever
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
