All you need is time, you say, as you look into her eyes She says, "If all you need is time, you've had plenty" You say, "Let me be the one to decide" You know you need her so, but you've got mountains left to climb And time's gonna fly, and you're gonna cry when she says goodbye You tell her you love her more than life itself, and you mean what you say But what can she believe when you turn and walk away This dream is there before you, wake up and make it stay 'Cause time's gonna fly and you're gonna cry when she says goodbye The highest mountain left for you to climb is the mountain of your fear It faces you and all you say is "No, not now, not here" You turn and run but you can't see that time runs just as fast And one day it may catch up with you at last And it's gonna take time for you to forget the pain of the dreams you've lost So before you wait your life away, think of what it might cost Take this moment while you may, and say the things that you've gotta say Or time's gonna fly, and you're gonna cry when she says goodbye
