The Only Time That Matters
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You could wait for the moment
For the stars to align
And hope that you're paying attention
You could pray that the payback
That they all fit the crime
There's far, far too many to mention
But when it's something so fine
When it feels like you wanted
Baby better hold on this time
I just gotta tell you that...
Now ... now is the only time that matters
And you ... you are the only one I need
And now ... now is the only time that matters
When there's two hearts in play
Feeling this way
It's the only time that matters to me...
And you're tired of taking chances
Getting burned by mistakes
But baby there's no way of knowing
All the rules of romances
And just why hearts break
And how many cards are they showing...
But when it's something so fine
When it feels like you wanted
Baby better hold on this time
And I just gotta tell you that...
Now ... now is the only time that matters
And you ... you are the only one I need
And now ... now is the only time that matters
When there's two hearts in play
Feeling this way
It's the only time that matters to me...
(bridge)
You could look all your life for the answer
But then maybe tonight
This is the first time that we get it right...
'Cuz when it's something so fine
When it feels like you wanted
Baby better hold on this time
I just gotta tell you that...
Now ... now is the only time that matters
And you ... you are the only one I need
And now ... now is the only time that matters
When there's two hearts in play
Feeling this way
It's the only time that matters to me...
It's the only time that matters...
The only time that matters...
