If There Were Time
Bruce Johnston, Rod McKuen
If there were time
Oh i would buy you a ribbon of rain
And a silver tongued nightingale
To sing out your name
If there were time
Oh i would fly you across the room
Then i'd carry you back again
Through the afternoon
If there were time
Wouldn't we have a time
And wouldn't we set the stars to dancing
With our heartbeats keeping time
If there were time
Oh i would wake you when the snowfall comes
Then we'd watch those flakes dissolve again
Beneath the winter sun
But time is a messenger
That comes and goes so fast
And while thinking up the good times
All our good times have passed
