Only Time Will Tell
Bananarama Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Was it written in the stars how I feel it in my heart?
Will I wake up from a dream? Oh, all my senses are colliding
Feelings running round inside me

Deep in the night, I hope I'm right
Or will our love drift away on the breeze?

Do we have a future or will love become a memory?
Since the day we fell, we knew the story well
Only time will tell, only time will tell

Could this be my destiny when you're lying next to me?
Feel the rhythm of our love, oh may I never watch our love go
Disappearing into shadow

Deep in the night, I hope I'm right
Or will our love drift away on the breeze?

Do we have a future or will love become a memory?
Since the day we fell, we knew the story well
Only time will tell, only time will tell

Do we have a future or will love become a memory?
Since the day we fell, we knew the story well
Only time will tell, only time will tell

Oh, all my senses are colliding
Feelings running round inside me

Deep in the night, I hope I'm right
Or will our love drift away on the breeze?

Do we have a future or will love become a memory?




Since the day we fell, we knew the story well
Only time will tell, only time will tell
