Only Time
Enya ft Moby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the day flows? Only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose? Only time
Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies? Only time
And who can say why your heart cries
Who can say when the roads meet?
That love might be in your heart?
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart
Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose? Only time
And who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows? Only time
Who knows? Only time
Who knows? Only time
The lyrics to Enya ft Moby's song "Only Time" are about the uncertainty of love and time. The song asks who can truly predict where life and love will take us, and as the lyrics state "only time" can tell. It talks about the emotional rollercoaster of love, how our hearts sigh and cry as relationships ebb and flow. It's questioning whether the love we feel will grow, whether we'll find that perfect person, and whether we'll be able to recognize and seize the opportunity when it presents itself. The song is ultimately conveying the idea that time and love are two constants in our lives that we can never fully predict, and we just have to cherish each moment as it comes.
The song "Only Time" became incredibly popular after the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Enya's soothing voice and comforting lyrics became a symbol of hope and healing during a time of immense sadness and grief. In fact, the song was used in countless tributes and memorials to the victims of 9/11.

Participação especial de Jean Claude Van Damme ficou super espetacular parabéns

i could not agree more! Jean Claude despite his short comings in his past... he is an example of why people deserve second chances in life. Opening this remix with him performing this stunt which we all know even make Chuck Norris say Damme!!!
