Written by Louise Goffin, Bill Olvia & Gerry Goffin. There comes a time when I just don't know It always seems to happen when you go I need you standing by Every time you leave, it all seems wrong Something dies inside every time you're gone I need you standing by When you're with me, trouble fades away Love you give me is easy to repay Time won't stand still, you know it's gonna fly But when time is without you . . . It might as well pass by. I got good love to give you But it ain't gonna happen if you don't come through If you want me you gotta try You should know by now we don't have to compete Just like the time we met on that two- way street You'll find out I speak no lie When you're with me, trouble fades away Love you give me is easy to repay But when time is without out . . . Time won't stand still, you know it's gonna fly It might as well pass by.
