only time Lyrics

There was a girl

For a fortnight, she was my world

And it was magical

On the shore

Walking hand in hand, wanting more

But it wasn't love

Even though it seemed close enough

In reality

She had to go

She was a summer breeze and I know

I couldn't take her with me

And just like that

She was gone

Like a bird in the wind

She flew into the dawn

I'll never forget her

As long as I live

But I had to let her

Spread her wings and fly

Time will tell if she is mine

To keep

I want it all

But summer love, they say

Never lasts one day

Into fall

But I didn't care

It was my one shot to take it there

You know what I mean

She was a beauty with intellect

As close to perfect as one could get

It was just bad timing

And just like that

I blinked and she was gone

Like a bird in the wind

She flew into the dawn

I knew when I met her

She was one of a kind

But I had to let her

Spread her wings and fly free

Only time will tell if she

Is mine

We fell in love so fast

But summer love doesn't last

'Cause she lives in Tennessee and I'm in LA

The distance is our enemy, but someday

Maybe we'll meet again, probably not

'Cause everything isn't meant to be

Maybe she isn't meant for me

(In the blink of an eye)

I'll never forget her as long as I live

(She had to leave)

But I had to let her

Spread her wings and fly free

Only time will tell

(Only time)
