Verse I
You told me to give it time
Oh those words they sound so wise

Until, I found out that time is long
And it just goes on and on and on


You said we're forever young
I thought that life would wait for us
Until, I saw the candles on the birthday cake

And it says, everything

Time will tell

Time will tell
No I aint waiting waiting waiting no more
She's telling me I should move along


Hook
Time has told

Time has told
Time has told
Time has told


Time has told
That it wont wait for me

If they ask why I did leave
Tell them
Time has told me

Time has told me
Time has told


Verse II
She told me that I'm a fool
Gave me years, and what did I do

She told me she was moving away
But I begged her, I begged her to say


She showed me all the tell tell signs
Showed me the creases, beside my smile
She said my youth was no an excuse

She wouldn't tolerate abuse

Time will tell

Time will tell
Well she don't have to tell me no more
She told me I should move along


Hook
Time has told

Time has told
Time has told
Time has told


Time has told
That it wont wait for me

If they ask why I did leave
Tell Them
Time has told me

Time has told me
Time has told


Bridge
What did you do?
Will they miss you when you're gone?

What did you leave ?
If time asked to see
How u used her precious gift

What would you have to show for it ?
