Time, Be My Friend - Dar Williams

Time, be my friend, be my friend

Though I have not been so kind to you

Always asked where you were going

Though you had no way of knowing

Oh no time, I have not been kind to you

Time, meet me here, I’ll meet you here

And we’ll go walking for a little while

And I know what I will say

I know there’s only now and yesterday

Oh time, I’ll meet you here

'Cause when I thought that I was alone

You snapped your fingers and a tree came into bloom

And the sun came by to fill my room, oh time

You will never tell me somthing that has not happened yet

And you will nver make a promise, but I can get just what I get

And you will never say you love me

You will never say you love me

But I can love just what I get

Time, I’ll make it up to you this time

And we’ll go walking down that wide country road

And I will be your brave companion

Your adventurous D’Artagnan

I will be your best receiver

Your goldenest retriever

I’ll remember what you taught me

And those treasures that you brought me

Most of all, a lifetime of friends

It came together when I asked you to be one of them

Oh time, be my friend

'Cause when I thought that I was alone

You snapped your fingers and a tree came into bloom

And the sun came by to fill my room, oh time

You will never tell me something that has not happened yet

You will never make a promise, but I can get just what I get

You will never say you love me

You will never say you love me

You will never say you love me

But let’s see what’s round the bend
