Time, be still

Why can't you ever stop?

I hate to hear your tick-tock.

I just want to hold her in my arms
a little while longer
so our love can be much stronger

Time, be still
please don't tick-tock
Tell me, do you ever stop?

Give me more time
to look at her beautiful face,
to see her smile.

Time be still
I can't stand your tick-tock.

How come you seem to slow down?
Always, when she's never around.

It drives me crazy hearing your tick-tock
It means our time is growing thin.

Time - be still!
Can't you hear my plea
I want her right here next to me.

My wishes you can fulfill
Time, can you please be still?
