Time by Mary Hopkin
I wrote the lyrics to this original song, and sang lead vocals on it as well.
Special thanks to Anna King for playing guitar and singing background vocals, and to Jonathan Strong for playing piano and drums on this song for me.
Time
Verse 1
I was the best friend I thought you never saw
In that way, until you did
Turns out you did
They say timing is everything
Well our timing’s not the best
Pre-chorus
I had a boyfriend,
And you had a girlfriend
But that didn’t stop us…
And well I think you know the rest
Chorus
There was that night
In your car
And those three days
In your room
There’s no right time to say it
But I’m in love with you
And I will wait
But not quietly
But I can wait now that you know
I’ll wait until there’s time for us
One more thing before you go-
I hope you know you are my everything
And that won’t change with time
Verse 2
We’ve talked just once since we moved away
One twelve minute talk
While you were on your way to class
That ended with an awkward, shaky, unsteady, unsettling, ‘I love you’
That you met with a bashful and unsteady laugh
And a quick
‘love you too’ click
Chorus
There was that night
In your car
And those three days
In your room
There’s no right time to say it
But I’m in love with you
And I will wait
But not quietly
But I can wait now that you know
I’ll wait until there’s time for us
One more thing before you go-
I hope you know you are my everything
And that won’t change with time
Bridge
You were my best friend, my everything, my entire universe
How does it feel to be someone’s everything
Do you even know you are my everything?
You know I feel so safe with you
Tell me why I feel so safe with you
We were so close, but now we’re far too far away
Chorus
There was that night
In your car
And those three days
In your room
There’s no right time to say it
But I’m in love with you
And I will wait
But not quietly
But I can wait now that you know
I’ll wait until there’s time for us
One more thing before you go-
I hope you know you are my everything
And that won’t change with time
