If Only Time Stood Still
Play MP3
If only time stood still
Whenever you’re away
There’d be no time to kill
We’d never lose a day
And all the friends we’d meet
Who happen in between
Would hand us back their memories
Of how we each had been
The times we never had
Are those I miss the most
The good ones and the bad
Pass me like a ghost
The memories I dream
Like stepping stones of time
Were put across the stream
By other hands than mine
And so the path is laid
Our lives will run their course
The journey will be made
We’ll travel to the source
And there we’ll meet again
To re-emerge as one
Making up the memory
We must have once begun
Chorus
We’ll live the dream
We’ll live the dream
Farewell to time
We’ll live the dream
If only time stood still
So we could start again
I’m dreaming that it will
In dreams we harboured then
We’ll lay a different path
For we’ll have different stones
And laugh our lazy laugh
I feel it in my bones
Chorus
If only time stood still
The moment when we met
The dream we could fulfil
We would be dreaming yet
But time gets in the way
And brings the pains we bear
Steals away the memories
That we were meant to share
Chorus
