My Time
Johnnie Jenkins a.k.a. PAPA JOHN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your time's been my time for some time now
Can't go to work because there's too much snow
Your time's been my time for some time now
I'll make the coffee while you set up the show
Your time's been my time for some time now
Drivin' home's never felt so sweet
Your time's been my time for some time now
I dare to say that I'm complete
I dare to say that I'm complete

Your time's been my time for some time now
Two apartments in one month flat
Your time's been my time for some time now
I can't remember when I've ever had this many laughs
Your time's been my time for some time now
You ask me which looks better, but you make 'em all look great
Your time's been my time for some time now
Hangin' out and stayin' up too late
Hangin' out and stayin' up too late

Right under my nose I found somethin' that works
And I'll never let it go, let it go
I am predisposed to mood swings and quirks
But still she loves me so, loves me so

Your time's been my time for some time now
You make the coffee and I'll feed the cats
Your time's been my time for some time now
Don't let me forget about these days when they pass
Your time's been my time for some time now
I feel so proud walkin' next to you
Your time's been my time for some time now
We're too good not to be true
We're too good not to be true

Your time's been my time for some time now
I think I know what my heart was talking about




My heart was talking about
My heart was talking about you
