This Time
Bryan Adams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think about her all the time
She's my fantasy
An image burnin' in my mind
Callin' out to me

While my imagination's runnin' wild
Yeah, things are getting clearer, oh oh
This time everything is alright
No way she's gonna get away
This time everything is easy
Any day, I'm gonna make her mine

I've thought of every word I'd say
Give or take a few
But she turns and slowly walks away
What do I have to do

Hey, turn up your radio
Oh, there's somethin' I want you to know, yeah

This time everything is alright
No way she's gonna get away
This time everything is easy
Any day, I'm gonna make her mine
Yeah, I'm gonna make her mine, this time

It's hard to take 'cause she's miles away
And I've waited a long time
But the feeling's right, darlin' one of these nights
Yeah, I'm gonna let you know, oh oh

This time everything is alright
No way she's gonna get away
This time everything is easy
Any day, I'm gonna make her mine

This time everything is alright
No way she's gonna get away
This time everything is easy
Any day, I'm gonna make her mine
Yeah, I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah
This time

Song Lyrics
I think about her all the time

She`s my fantasy

An image it`s burnin` in my mind

Callin` out to me

While my imagination`s runnin` wild

Yeah - things are getting clearer

This time everything is all right

No way she`s gonna get away

This time everything is easy

Any day - I`m gonna make her mine

I`ve thought of every word I`d say

Give or take a few

But she turns and slowly walks away

What do I have to do

Hey - turn up your radio

Oh - there`s somethin` I want you to know

This time everything is all right

No way she`s gonna get away

This time everything is easy

Any day - I`m gonna make her mine

Well it`s hard to take cause she`s miles away

And I`ve waited a long time

But the feelin`s right and darlin` one of these nights

Yeah - I`m gonna let you know

This time everything is all right

No way she`s gonna get away

This time everything is easy

Any day - I`m gonna make her mine

Wish we could go back to the 80's. Today is so dark.

@jasonbower683

You can blame the politicians & the music artists are done making music.

@werearethedreamteam3724

the more humans evolve the darker humans get and that is a proven fact...

@EphemeralProductions

For some of us the 1980s was dark also…..

@JG12457

Back then was dark, too. Difference is we were kids and we saw everything in light.

@Retsler54

The future is in other countries. For the moment, USA seem to make an effort fixing itself and for its people,

@jimgeminelli6308

The look on Bryan Adams' face at the end - priceless!

@Canadiana71

Probably my favourite song from Bryan Adams hands down. I can listen to this all day long.

@pokerfraudalert

Agree, was his best song by a wide margin. Underrated.

@LostAzHell

This song deserves a much higher quality audio track.
