Only Time
Cosmic Gate feat. Tommy Clint Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've lost your love, your trust is gone
I've lost the one and now I'll be alone
Hope is dying 'cause you leave me in the dark

I do regret my sins, my lies
I do atone, I've died a thousand times
You're my goddess 'cause your love was so divine
(give me a sign)

I can't smile without you
The world is sour without you
And I've asked myself how could I let you go

Only time can tell
If you'll be mine, again

Life is senseless without you
I'm so defenseless without you
And I've asked myself how could I let you go

Only time can tell
If you'll be mine, again
Only time can tell
If you'll be mine, again, again, again, again

Will I see your face again
Will I see your grace again
Will I feel your kindness on me, time can tell

Only time can tell
If you'll be mine, again
Only time can tell
If you'll be mine, again

Will I see your face again
Will I see your grace again
Will I feel your kindness on me, time can tell

Only time can tell
If you'll be mine, again

Only time can tell
If you'll be mine, again
