Time Will Tell

Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone will tell

When I was just a little boy

Only six years old

I asked my daddy

What big things my future hold

He said, Son, when you grow up

To be a man,

The facts of life

You will start to understand

Nobody knows

Just what tomorrow may bring

So I want to tell you now,

And listen while I sing

Father said,

Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone will tell

Now I'm a lonely man

Trying to make life on my own

Ever since the day I was born,

I never have a happy home

Just like the river,

I've been running ever since

The day I was born

In that broken down little town

I'm wondering now

Just what my gain will be

Cause it seems to me,

Happiness I'll never see

Mama said,

Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone will tell

What he say now,

Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone will tell

Time keeps on changing

Like the weather and the seasons

For every mistake, Mama said,

There must be a reason

After a storm,

There's got to be a calm

So I think I'll wait a while

And try to wear a smile

Mama said,

Time will tell, time will tell

Time alone will tell

What he say now,

Time will tell - I know, I know!

Time will tell - said I know

Time alone will tell

One more time now

Time will tell - I believe

Time will tell - oh yes, I do!

Time alone will tell - I believe that...
