you're my lover
you're the one i depend---on
with one another
we don't have to pretend

you could turn me down or
over twice
you could treat me mean or
treat me nice

but soon
the time(the time)
will come(will come)
i know what i put you through
the time(the time)
will run(will run)
away from us like time it will do

you're my lover
and forever my friend
and when i touch you
i never want it to end

and when the starry night is
left to dawn
the thought of you just keeps me
dreaming on

but soon
the time(the time)
will come(will come)
i know what i put you through
the time(the time)
will run(will run)
away from us like time it will do

when i need you
you will always be there
and you're my lover
we can go anywhere

and when the starry night is
left to dawn
the thought of you just keeps me
dreaming on

but soon
the time(the time)
will come(will come)
i know what i put you through
the time(the time)
will run(will run)
away from us like time it will do

i know what i put you through
